   Reservoir, it completely has so much outdoors fun stuff. Melton Reservoir is near Hughes Dam which is a striking site undeniably worth visiting; Stover Meadow is a scenic place any time of year.

But wait, there's more to do in the neighborhood of Melton Reservoir.

               side spree, try Bear Gulch; Melton Reservoir is splendid enough to spend more than a day at, Ponderosa State Park is a splendid local campground. You'll beyond doubt wish for more hours in a day to enjoy all the amusing stuff in the Salmon River Mountains. On a lovely day you get a panorama of Grouse Knoll from Melton Reservoir, and whitewater paddling is great on Payette River - North Fork. For the duration of the summer months at Melton Reservoir highs are mostly in the 80's, and the nighttime is a bit colder of course, regularly in the 40's. For the duration of the winter highs are in the 30's, and all through the dark hours in the wintertime at Melton Reservoir temperatures sink to the 10's.
This lake is so wonderful. Have a magnificent hiking adventure along the Boulder Lake Trail, and camping at Westside RV Park is always a wonderful experience. Melton Reservoir is a good site of typical rain; January is when you get the most snow here, and July is when it's the driest. The Salmon River Mountains scenery is always beautiful.

Kennally Creek Trail
12 miles away
I love the Kennally Creek area and have camped at the Kennally Creek Campground for over thirty years.  I have never done much hiking but have found I really enjoy it.  I am having a family reunion next summer and some of the members are hikers, fisherman, horse back riders--just ourtdoors people in general.  I saw on the map at the campground that there are several lakes up the trail and was wondering what lakes are accessible from trails--in particular, Nick Lake, as well as others.  Any information you could provide would be wonderful! ...

Fish Lake

Very hard to get to bad roads, good fishing medium size trout....

Blackmare Lake
14 miles away
The trail to Blackmare Lake is in very poor shape. The fire last year weakened the trees and the wind took down many of them. There are several 24-36' logs across the trail preventing horse travel. Hikers can make the trek, but expect to be climbing over a lot of down timber. The trails themselves are not terrible, but they are very loose with decomposed granite sand.
The other big problem with the trail is that past the signs at the first bridge, there is absolutely no direction as to where the trails will take you or how far you are along the trails. ...

Wilson Creek Trail
16 miles away
I didn't hike this trail myself but someone in our party met us in middle fork by this route,they said the trail fizzles out half way down because it was too close to the stream and the flash floods have washed it out. They did however state that if you are looking for bear that is very possible to locate since they ran into two different ones feeding near the stream. The trail is more like a rock trail as you get nearer to the Middle fork. Seems sad to think about it now since we are only 50 years away from the time that folks were packing in and farming on the alluvial grades of the middle fork....

Enos Lake

Amazing escape! A fun hike and a fantastic fishing lake!...

Miners Peak Trail
19 miles away
The trail has not been maintained. I was able to hike it easily to the top 2 or 3 years ago. Not today...It was overgrown a lot and substantial deadfall. There are some burned spots also. That said, it's beautiful and a rigorous hike. Wear pants as the twigs will scratch you, and take insect repellant. Check your body for ticks also. The lookout is cool....
