Getting Outdoors

Spending the weekend camping at Bear Lake State Park is an excellent way to relax no matter what time of year you visit. Bear Lake is situated in both Idaho and Utah and has intense turquoise water that has been dubbed the Caribbean of the Rockies. Relaxing on the lake while boating, canoeing, or kayaking is a favored activity of park visitors. Be sure to have your watercraft checked out at the park office before entering the water.

Anglers of all ages head to Bear Lake State Park for fantastic fishing opportunities. Cast your line in hopes of catching salmon, trout, chinook, or steelhead. You can fish from certain areas along the banks of Bear Lake or head out in a boat and drop your line in deeper waters. Ask the park office about locations for fly fishing. Come during the winter when the lake is frozen for ice fishing. Bring along a net or bucket to try to capture the Bonneville Cisco, an elusive fish found in very few places, including Bear Lake.

Don't forget to pack your hiking shoes in the rental RV so you can wander the well-maintained trails that wind through the park. Visitors can follow a loop trail that overlooks Bear Lake and snap some fantastic selfies of the pristine turquoise water in the background. Pick up a trail guide at the park office when you arrive.
