## Overview

**The Paddy Flat Cabins East and West are undergoing renovation in Summer
2024, and we hope to make these units available for public use in 2025.**

The Paddy Flat Guard Station is located in the Payette National Forest of
central Idaho. Guests enjoy the remote area for its hunting opportunities and
abundance of hiking, biking, horseback riding and off-highway vehicle roads
and trails. Abundant streams and numerous alpine lakes within travel distance
offer fantastic fishing opportunities.

The Paddy Flat Cabin East provides sleeping quarters four up to 4 persons.
This cabin is also allowed up to two single-family tents outside.

## Recreation

The Paddy Flat Guard Station serves as an excellent jumping-off point for
adventures via horseback, motorcycle, ATV or hiking. Numerous trailheads
within a few miles allow access to alpine lakes for fishing, meadows for
watching birds and wildlife, as well as peaks ranging as high as 8,681 foot
elevation for excellent views of the South Fork of the Salmon River drainage.

## Natural Features

This Guard Station sits at an elevation of 5,250 feet and is situated within a
scenic meadow surrounded by a dense conifer forest. The Payette National
Forest contains some of Idaho's most beautiful and diverse country. Located in
west-central Idaho, north of Boise, the 2.2 million-acre forest extends 100
miles west to east, from Hells Canyon to the Middle Fork of the Salmon River,
and 70 miles north to south, from the Salmon River to the Weiser River.

## Nearby Attractions

While the Paddy Flat Guard Station is located within some of the most scenic
forest areas of Idaho, you may find a desire to visit "civilization" during
your visit. If you hanker for a pizza, hot lunch or subway sandwich, the town
of Donnelly is just a bit of back-tracking away. While you are there, take
some time to explore the historic town of Roseberry or take the ten mile drive
to Gold Forks Hot Springs for a relaxing dip in their pools. While McCall is a
bit further of a drive north, a walk through downtown is always a fun way to
while away the afternoon. Spend some time on the waterfront, take in a local
museum, visit Ponderosa State Park, or take a tour through the McCall Fish
Hatchery.
