Known for its many best places to visit, such as vast national forests, state parks, and wilderness areas, Idaho is the place to be for adventure seekers and wanderers. Particularly, many outdoor activities await you in the water. Coeur d’Alene and Sandpoint are famous destinations for water activities that include boating, canoeing, and kayaking. Jetboat tours through Hells Canyon on Snake River, the country’s deepest river-carved gorge, are also popular among tourists. If you are seeking a quieter, lakeside community to explore, you can head to McCall. This town is home to several hiking trails, hot springs, and gorgeous lakes.
