Where the Forest Never Ends and the Adventures Begin.
Tucked in Lowman, ID—just 90 minutes north of Boise and 60 minutes west of Stanley—SouthFork Lodge sits in the heart of the Boise National Forest, surrounded by 2.5 million acres of rugged Idaho wilderness. Set along the wild South Fork of the Payette River, our lodge offers a unique combination of rustic charm, modern comfort, and remote serenity.
​
Whether you're looking for a hotel-style room, a cozy cabin, or luxury glamping, SouthFork is your basecamp for outdoor adventure. Explore the mountains on one of our Polaris side-by-side rentals, enjoy handcrafted meals in our riverside restaurant, or simply unplug and reconnect in the stillness of the forest.
​
With no cell service and unmatched access to the backcountry, SouthFork Lodge invites guests to experience true Idaho—from alpine trails and natural hot springs to wildlife sightings and off-road adventure. It’s not just a stay—it’s an escape into the wild heart of Lowman, Idaho.
Stay with us at the SouthFork Lodge
Extend your experience and stay awhile. Nestled in the heart of the Boise National Forest, SouthFork Lodge offers a range of unique accommodations—sleep beside the river at the Payette Flats, retreat to a cozy cabin on the ridge, or settle into the serene meadows with a wall tent or primitive campsite under the stars. Wherever you choose to rest, the quiet charm of our wilderness property invites you to slow down, breathe deep, and reconnect with what matters most.

The SouthFork Dispatch
Welcome to The SouthFork Dispatch—our dedicated place to share stories, updates, and the rhythms of life from deep in the Boise National Forest. At SouthFork Lodge, we believe connection happens when we slow down, listen closely, and lean into the place and people around us.
​
This dispatch isn’t just about lodge news—it’s about the lives we intersect with: the travelers, trailblazers, guides, and locals who shape this wild and wonderful corner of Idaho. It’s about honoring the land, sharing a fireside tale, and keeping the spirit of the forest alive in every season.
​
We know that choosing to do things a little differently—more intentionally, more personally—takes time. But we believe it’s worth it.
​
We invite you to follow along, stay connected, and be part of the SouthFork story. Subscribe and we’ll bring the mountains to your inbox, one issue at a time.
