There are eleven units\/nine trailer units with drinking water from one centrally located hand pump, tables, fire pits, charcoal grills, handicapped accessible toilet, hitching rails and unloading ramp, pack in\/pack out. Good trail access with no trailhead fee. There is a host at Paddy Flat Guard Station. Contact the McCall Ranger District at (208) 634-0400 for the most current information. There is a designated horse camping area, and a great overflow (no fee) area about 300 yards up the road from the campground.\u00a0 Three trails are available from this trailhead.\u00a0 Kennally Creek trail is a mostly level ride through big trees with a number of creek crossing that takes you to some small lakes if your willing to ride nine miles one way.\u00a0 The needles trail is a pretty steady climb with some loose rocky sections but is rewarded with some great views at the summit.\u00a0 The Black Mare trail starts with a short climb, followed by a very nice ride through big trees to Bill&#8217;s Lake.\u00a0 From the lake the trail climbs quickly up the end of the canyon to a saddle.\u00a0 The trail head is at 5600 feet, the saddle is at 7,900 feet and the last 1,500 is in less than a mile.\u00a0 The view when you get to the top is of the South Fork of the salmon river canyon, and it is spectacular. This is an end of the road trail head and camp ground, with very little traffic and very nice facilities.\u00a0 Loop pack trips are possible from this trail head, with a number of lakes and creeks to camp by.\u00a0 We saw very little sign of game, it had rained a couple of days before we started riding and the only tracks we saw on the trails were our horses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kennally Creek Campground Travel 10 miles south of McCall on Hwy 55 then 19 miles east on Paddy Flat Road (#388).
