Tourist Guide

Bear Lake straddles both Utah and Idaho, and has been described as the "Caribbean of the Rockies" for its intensely turquoise blue water. The gorgeous color is a result of the reflection of limestone deposits that are suspended in the lake. #bearlake #utah #idaho #lake #blue #turqoise

9.2/10 Wonderful! (132 reviews)
Amy and Lawana at the front desk were very helpful. And our rooms were both in building one which is right closest to the pool and the clubhouse. And speaking of the pool, that whole area has been redone and it is absolutely beautiful.

All the above. We had a cute little cabin but the microwave kept tripping the breaker. The staff apologized and moved us to another and it was an upgrade. We were happy with the original but this was a great surprise.
