The Bear Lake Area has been called the 'Caribbean of the Rockies' because of its intense turquoise blue water. Between marvelling at how blue and beautiful the lake is or the gorgeous white sandy beaches, you may think you have travelled hours to a tropical location. The Bear Lake valley offers all four of nature's seasons. There are many recreational activities available. In the summer you can jet ski across the turquoise water, sail into the sunset, or just enjoy a picnic at the beach. You can enjoy trolling for huge mackinaw or cutthroat trout in Bear Lake, or fly fishing for smaller brook or rainbow trout in the many local mountain streams. In the fall you can enjoy the beautiful scenic landscape as you hike or 4 wheel the many trails. In the winter you can enjoy the 'greatest snow on earth' as you snowmobile, downhill ski, cross country ski, or snowshoe. And of course, you can always enjoy the small town shops, unique restaurants and relaxing atmosphere. Come spend your vacation at beautiful Bear Lake.
