Bear Lake State Park

The Caribbean-blue waters of Bear Lake are nestled high in the Rocky Mountains at the Utah-Idaho border. Seven state-owned facilities provide boating access, and camping and day-use opportunities.

Waterskiing, swimming, scuba diving, and sailing are favorite activities. Anglers enjoy fishing for cutthroat, mackinaw and whitefish. Winter draws snowmobilers, ice anglers, and eagle watchers.

Bear Lake State Park - Rendezvous Beach is located on the south shore near Laketown on Utah State Road 30. Rendezvous Beach includes a large day use beach area with a reservable group day use pavilion; the Willow (3), Cottonwood (3), and Big Creek (1) group-use campsites; and, the Birch (60), the Big Creek (49), and the Cottonwood (23), individual campsite campgrounds. All Rendezvous Beach campgrounds provide restrooms with flush toilets and hot showers. The Birch and Big Creek campgrounds offer the utility hookups of power, water, and sewer. A wide, long, gradually sloping, sandy beach makes this a very popular place.
