Bear Lake<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Located on the Idaho-Utah border, Bear Lake’s turquoise-blue waters have lead many to refer to it as the “Caribbean of the Rockies.” Swimming, kite flying, scuba diving, wakeboarding, fishing, and water skiing are just some of the activities families can practice along its 48-mile shoreline. And just to make your vacation planning easier, both boat ramps and rentals are available within the lake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Henry’s Lake<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Though barely 8 square miles in area, Henry’s Lake has earned itself a big reputation among anglers. Thanks to its nutrient-rich waters, large catches are the norm rather than the exception. Species like Yellowstone rainbow-cutthroat can grow up to 12 pounds and even trout bigger than 18 pounds are not uncommon. But don’t worry if your fishing gear isn’t up to the challenge. Henry’s Lake’s marina has boat ramps, a modern fish-cleaning station, boat rentals, and all the fishing tackle you need to take a wall-hanger home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
