Ponderosa State Park

The peninsula was protected as a state park in the 1960s–70s when McCall’s growth threatened the shoreline; its 1,000 acres of ponderosa forest and lakeshore now carry the park’s campground, cabins and the trail network to Osprey Point and the northern coves. The park’s beaches and boat-in sites anchor McCall’s summer; the peninsula’s winter trails share the snow with the town’s ski and snowshoe circuit.
