This is one grand lake, 20 miles long, 8 miles wide, and 208' at its deepest point. Half of Bear Lake stretches across the border into Utah.
The water is a very unique turquoise color caused by the limestone deposits that are suspended in the lake and reflecting the natural blue color back to the surface of the water.
Bear Lake is great for all kinds of water sports, fishing, sightseeing, and hiking on one of the many trails around the lake.
Camp along its shores and let Mother Nature put on one of her spectacular sunrises or sunsets.
It truly is a stay and play destination and worth the trip to see for yourself why it's called the "Caribbean of the Rockies."
While you're here, search for some of the seashells that are between 6000 and 10000 years old and lived in the lake when it was 60 - 80 feet deeper and filled the entire valley.
This area is also known for its raspberries and are some of the best I've had.
As always, leave no trace, leave it better than you found it, and enjoy 😉.
