Imagine long sunny days on the lake with endless water sports, lake activities and fishing, horse rides through the forest, family bike rides around the lake, golfing with unparalleled Bear Lake views, famous raspberry shakes, and so much more!
Bear Lake in Fall
Peak season for fall colors in Utah is from late September to the end of October. As the colors begin to turn, the leaves begin to fall and so do the temperatures. The Bear Lake Utah weather in September averages highs in the low 70s, dropping to the 60s in October and down to the low 50s by November and the onset of winter in Bear Lake.
Bear Lake in Winter
As the snow begins to fall, the winter months in Bear Lake bring an abundance of winter snow sports and activities. Our guests spend their days skiing and snowboarding at Beaver Mountain Ski Area, cross-country skiing in the pristine wilderness, snowmobiling on over 350 miles of groomed trails and jigging for trout and whitefish on Bear Lake. Bear Lake typically freezes over every three out of five years and the annual Bear Lake Monster Winterfest draws visitors for cisco fishing, chili cook-offs and the polar plunge into the icy waters of Bear Lake.
