Best of local dining

While staying by Beak Lake, be sure to try a raspberry shake, the signature dessert of the area. Such is its popularity, that you'll find it on the menu at pretty much any place that sells food. Both located in Garden City, LeBeau's and Quick-N-Tasty are great places to start.

When it comes to eating, the local cuisine is sure to satisfy appetites. From local delis to laid-back fast food spots, you'll find fresh and hearty fare. Highlights on the restaurant scene include Cooper's at Bear Lake West, or Cafe Sabor for tasty Mexican cuisine.

Picturesque landscapes

Whether you are a nature lover or relaxation seeker, Bear Lake will inspire you with its beauty. Named the 'Caribbean of the Rockies', the lake is renowned for its striking turquoise water, which is due to limestone deposits suspended in the lake.

This unique characteristic has led to the development of unusual species of fish that cannot be found anywhere else, such as Bear Lake sculpin, Bonneville cisco, or Bonneville cutthroat trout. In the summer, the shimmering lake draws water sports enthusiasts and sunbathers alike.

Over in Idaho, you'll find the fantastic Bear Lake National Wildlife Refuge. A must for animal lovers, it features unspoilt landscapes and a dazzling array of creatures.

Raspberry heaven

Bear Lake has become famous for its crops of raspberries, hailing from the surrounding valleys. During the first week of August, you can participate in the annual Raspberry Days festival, held in Garden City.

Large numbers of visitors from across the globe gather together for action-packed days of raspberry cook-offs, concerts, fun runs, and talent shows.
