Bear Lake Valley - A year-round Family Destination Photo courtesy: Bear Lake CVB Butch Cassidy robbed the Bank of Montpelier near Bear Lake on August 13, 1896. Bear Lake is often called the Caribbean of the Rockies for its intense turquoise blue water. The lake is 20 miles long and 8 miles wide, providing space and calm water for all types of watercraft. WaterSkiing, wakeboarding, sailing and swimming are popular sports. Camping, picnicking, ﬁshing, golf, horseback riding, hiking and biking, bird watching, wildlife viewing, cave exploring and the famous Raspberry Days are also favorite summer activities. As spring makes its way into the valley, early leaves and wild ﬂowers welcome you as you hike or ride the hundreds of miles of trails connecting Idaho and Utah, providing all levels of riding. The Shoshone ATV Trail System and the surrounding canyons make for a challenging ride with plenty of fresh air in an unreal setting. The fall months of September and October are some of the prettiest and most scenic with brightly colored autumn leaves. The Bear Lake area has over 350 miles of groomed snowmobiling trails and wide open play areas with no crowds and no fences! There are miles of groomed trails connecting Utah and Idaho that take you by spectacular wonders. Downhill skiing is only 13 miles west of Garden City, Beaver Mountain Ski Resort offers downhill skiing, snowboarding and excellent crosscountry skiing. Bear Lake is ice covered four out of ﬁve years and jigging for trout and whiteﬁsh is always productive in January and February. Don’t forget dip netting for the famous Bonneville cisco off Cisco Beach in late January. Bear Lake is a unique and special retreat to hold company meetings, conventions and family reunions. We invite you to plan your next rendezvous at Bear Lake to enjoy a rural setting with clean air and a safe environment.
