Horseshoe Bend, ID

Set in the foothills about thirty miles north of Boise, Horseshoe Bend gets its name from the wide loop the Payette River cuts through the valley. It serves as the gateway along Highway 55 heading up toward McCall, giving residents a quiet, rural lifestyle with world-class whitewater rafting and hiking right out the front door. You get wide-open scenery, river views, and a tight-knit small-town feel, all while keeping an easy commute down into the Treasure Valley.
