This park has a FANTASTIC visitor center! I mean it's not packed with tons of info but it's got a solid little bit, nice folks, a good little gift shop, clean bathrooms, what more could you want? There are so many trails with an abundance of options for difficulty, or even just driving through was tranquil. We saw a huge variety of birds, wildlife, flowers, and just incredible views. It's worth a visit, take a day and explore, we went in late June and saw many adorable fawns and deer!

I recommend this place to anyone who wants a pontoon rental, ski/surf boat rental or a nice meal on the water with great drinks and good vibes. They also have live music sometimes! The Marina is amazing, and I keep coming back every year for this reason - highly recommend. Don't let the negative reviews steer you, they are just upset and unhappy customers that couldn't find a better use of their time but to spread negative/untrue information. I have been around this crew for a few years now and they do an excellent job. Let's spread this positivity!! Definitely check them out if you're in the McCall area and enjoy the uniqueness of what the lake and people in this area have to offer. Once again, highly recommend. We all love Mile High Marina!!

Not only was the scenery some of the most spectacular we've ever seen, but the level of service, professionalism, knowledge and attentiveness were truly second to none. When they talk about the shadow effect in businesses, it's clear that someone as wonderful as Jaclyn is at the helm. Her care, attention to detail, responsiveness and all around loveliness spreads out to her amazing team and allows them to show up as their fullest selves and truly live into their superpowers. The guides Sebastian, Emmy and Jack were so wonderful and as a result of Sebastian's guidance, and my son's and Emmy's encouragement;), I was able to kayak my first class 4 rapid (something which gave me endless mom points with my son:)) and live to tell the story;-).

The guides were the perfect hosts, keeping everyone safe on the river and wanting for nothing in the camp. Props to Wren and Chris as the mother ducks keeping us safe.

Tyler kept everyone organized and brought the Patty's! How in the hell Timmy kept up with this group at almost 80 is beyond comprehension. We enjoyed perfect weather mid June for a 6 day trip, our crew had 3 kids who absolutely thrived on all of the water activities. They can't wait to get back on the river with this group of guides.

I took my 14 year old son Isky on this trip and I knew it was going to be special, but I never anticipated anything this sublime. You are being guided through true wilderness in the high desert. Glorious dry sunshine along a pristine river, chock full of excellent, thrilling rapids, surrounded by mountains, fresh air and that occasional wild life spotting (in our case, a bear, 2 bald eagles, mountain goats, one small bobcat, and countless fish). Jarrett has assembled an A-team of guides that go above and beyond with smart, responsible mentorship, showing you the ropes, educating you with stories of the land (geography and history) and they are very interesting too. Mike is a super star, ex-navy pilot with an infectious energy and smile; Ty is a smart, super friendly Mechanical Engineering student from Arkansas, Rylee is a wildlife and animal wrangling expert who can catch and clean a fish faster than anyone, Leia rounds out the group making the everyone in the group feel taken care of and is always there to help you whether your gearing up, hungry, or just have a question about anything. Shout out to Loren (Jarrod's wife and partner) for preparing a virtual gourmet feast every day. There are no words to describe just how much effort and artistry goes into to the food prep. You will eat well and trust me that there is PLENTY of food, you won't be hungry. The stars on this experience are old world. You will never see space like you do on this journey. This is a 6 stars out of 5 experience. Do it now before corporate America takes over and spoils this untouched wilderness. It will change your life.

How could you give them any less than 5 stars?! We loved our guide and had an awesome experience!read more
