 - Bear Lake -

 Located on the border of Utah and Idaho, this natural lake is an excellent fishing lake, and divers enjoy it's relatively clear waters.  The lake is a unique agua-blue color, the result of calcium carbonates suspended in the water.  
     This lake also offers some excellent fishing, with cutthroat trout and Mackinaw being popular catches.  Being located relatively high in the mountains, the lake gets a fairly regular dose of afternoon storms during the summer.  Don't be too surprised if a sudden summer thundershower invades on your day at this lake.  There is a pretty well established sailing community on Bear Lake, and the state marina is home to the Bear Lake Yacht Club.  Bear Lake is also sort of a "party lake" for much of the surrounding area, so expect plenty of revelry on a Friday or Saturday night at the southern end of the lake where the main campground is.  The area around the lake is home to some of Utah's best Raspberry growing areas, so don't go home without a least giving these little morsels a taste.
