Fishing
There are rainbow trout and whitefish in the Middle Fork of the Payette River. If you are up for a bit of rough terrain, check out the river past Trail Creek. The river passes through a canyon and access is limited so the fishing should be better. Be careful if you try this!
Boating
No.
Swimming
Wading.
Recreation
Camping, fishing, hunting, four-wheeling, wildlife watching, hiking and biking are a few of the activities around Rattlesnake Campground.
Wildlife
Deer, elk, black bear, wolves, fox and other woodland animals live nearby. Take care with your food and garbage storage to avoid a night time visit from a neighborhood bear. The campground was full of bear droppings when we visited.

Rattlesnake Campground is located on the east side of the Middle Fork of the Payette River on flat land. The flat is heavily forested with timber and undergrowth. There is good access to the river and most campsites offer some privacy. However, this is a group camp and has a nice group shelter in the middle of the campground.
