Outflow from the lake is regulated for irrigation purposes by a small dam completed in 1943. The normal maximum lake surface elevation of {{convert|1520|m}} above sea level is attained in July; a normal drawdown of {{convert|1.7|m}} is completed by December. The lake surface area and volume, excluding islands, are {{convert|20.5|km2}} and {{convert|0.75|km3}}, respectively; mean and maximum depths are {{convert|36.8|m}} and {{convert|92.7|m}}, respectively; and shoreline length is about {{convert|36|km}}. The principal tributary and outlet is the North Fork Payette River. The lake receives drainage from {{convert|373|km2}} of heavily forested, mountainous terrain. HistoryPrior to the arrival of Euro-American hunters in the 1830s, the area had been inhabited by Native Americans for thousands of years. The discovery of gold in 1862 in the upper drainage of Payette Lake prompted an influx of miners to the area. The townsite of McCall was established on the lake's southern shore in the 1880s. The area became more accessible in 1914 when a railroad and roads were extended to McCall, which was becoming a tourist destination for summer and winter recreation. In 1920, the Idaho State Land Board began leasing vacation homesites around Payette Lake. Increasing recreational demands led to the establishment of Brundage Mountain Ski Area and Ponderosa State Park, both near McCall, in the 1960s. In popular cultureIn Idaho folklore, a sea serpent much like the Loch Ness Monster is said to live in the deep waters of Payette Lake near McCall. In 1954, the creature was given the name Sharlie.[6] References1. ^1 {{cite gnis|388282|Payette Lake}} [2][3]2. ^1 {{cite web |url=https://idfg.idaho.gov/ifwis/fishingPlanner/water/?id=12847 |title=Payette Lake |publisher=Idaho Department of Fish and Game |accessdate=October 18, 2018}} 3. ^1 {{cite news |url=https://www.sandiegoreader.com/news/2011/aug/13/travel-monster-payette-lake-mccall-idaho/# |title=McCall, Idaho: the Monster of Payette Lake |newspaper=San Diego Reader |date=August 13, 2011 |accessdate=October 22, 2018}} }} External links{{commons category|Payette Lake}}
