Are you ready to enjoy an adventure-packed, lakeside summer getaway? Located between Salt Lake City and Yellowstone National Park sits a natural freshwater lake known for its picturesque, turquoise-blue waters — Bear Lake. Otherwise known as the Caribbean of the Rockies, this lake is a popular summer vacation destination known for its family-friendly outdoor activities.
From fishing and kayaking to water sports and hiking, Bear Lake's wealth of summer activities will keep your family busy all season long. Discover the top three reasons to camp near the Caribean of the Rockies this summer.
You might have noticed the lake's distinct turquoise blue hue, but what makes Bear Lake so blue? The lake contains many microscopic lime particles that reflect the water's natural blue hue back to its surface. This incredible phenomenon forms the ancient lake's stunning, distinct turquoise-blue color you will not find elsewhere.
With over 50 miles of sandy shorelines, there are plenty of places to unwind and enjoy the views of Bear Lake's cool, calm waters while your family fishes or swims nearby. Watersport enthusiasts can also launch kayaks, paddle boards, power boats and sailboats from the lake's many public marinas and boat ramps.
In addition to watersports, there are many other family-friendly activities thrill seekers of all ages can explore near Bear Lake, including:
If you enjoy cycling, you will not want to skip riding the scenic, paved cycling paths surrounding Bear Lake. Along with miles of sandy shorelines, 50 miles of gently rolling roadway circle Bear Lake's shimmering, turquoise-blue waters.
Whether you enjoy cycling during the late spring, the height of summer or early fall, the stunning views of the mountains and countryside surrounding Bear Lake afford cyclists awe-inspiring riding views.
