If you are a die-hard ice fishing fan, I've been hearing a great deal about a lake that's 80 miles north of Boise that some Idahoans consider to be the best spot in the state. Gigantic perch are pulled out of the frozen waters of this lake regularly, which is found on the North Fork of the Payette River.
Lake Cascade is just over a 200-mile drive from Twin Falls. From Boise, you can get there in under two hours if conditions allow. Many consider the lake, which sits within the Lake Cascade State Park and totals roughly 500 acres in size, to be one of the state's top locations for ice fishing.
