The 4,986.7-acre Payette Lake is a clear, glacial water body situated in the Idaho highlands at an elevation of roughly 1,520 m above sea level. The lake is located in the Payette River's upper drainage basin, which finally empties into the Snake River.
The region had been inhabited by Native Americans for thousands of years before hunters from Europe arrived in the 1830s. The lake area witnessed an influx of miners after gold was discovered in Payette Lake's upper drainage basin in 1862.
The lake's pristine waters serve as a shelter for various animals. Deer, elk, and moose are frequently seen along the water's edge (along the Upper Payette River near North Beach).
Payette Lake is a favorite among anglers due to the variety of fish species that can be caught here. Small streams of the lake offer shallow water fishing from the banks, and anglers find the water ideal for fly fishing. One may also go boat fishing for tiger muskie, walleye, crappie, smallmouth bass, and trout.
