Segolily Says: This is why you come to Bear Lake. To get on the water. There are only a few launch options. Bear Lake State Park, north of town. This has a pier, marina, but no rentals. Ideal Beach Resort and Blue Water Resort south of town have rentals, but no pier. Launch is by tractor....
Segolily Says: There are miles and miles and miles of beach at Bear Lake. If you aren't lucky enough to have access to the beach from your accomodations, then take to the public access beaches. In Garden City a few blocks south of the Logan Canyon road junction you will be able to drive...
Segolily Says: Though it isn't championship, the Bear Lake 9-hole golf course will let you swing some clubs. Described by family members as "fun", it has nice views of the lake and a relaxed atmosphere.
Segolily Says: At least once during the stay a trip up to the Minnetonka cave is required. It is about a 45 minute drive from Pickleville, ending in a beautiful side canyon. Once you get there you should know that there are over 400 steps, the tour is about 1.5 hrs long and you should...

rocking_e Says: Visitors to Garden City should get out on Bear Lake for their favorite activity. Boating, both power and sail, skiing, and jet skiing are very popular. Swimming from the sandy beaches on the north (Idaho State North Beach Park) and south (Rendezvous State Beach) ends of the...

Blue Water Resort: Another option
Segolily Says: This is next door to the Condos we usually stay at. I haven't stayed here, but it looks like a great place. They have a small pier, and rentals. While we were there last time they were sponsoring a paraglide show. Glider after glider took off and sailed above the lake before...

rocking_e Says: My favorite place to stay is in our own guest cabin, the Rocking E Ranch! See the web site at http://rockingeranch.com for more information.Price varies depending on the season, but averages $200/night (US) for the full cabin. See the web site for details. This guest cabin...
Segolily Says: In conjunction with the Steakhouse and Chocolate Bear is the Bear Lake Pizza. Good times, good food.
The Hometown Drive In: Raspberry shakes are a must
Segolily Says: Well, you can eat at any of the various little places in town. We tend to always end up here. I can't tell you why, I think because the lines are always long we figure everyone else must know something. This is old time drive in, made to order and always good. Just don't...
rocking_e Says: In the year 2001 a local newspaper did a taste test of all the raspberry shakes that are offered in the many drive-in and sit-down restaurants in the area. I have to agree with their findings:#1 Best shake: Bear Lake Pizza. Has the most fruit.#2 Best shake: Quick 'n' Tasty...

Every summer a different repertoire, but always in the best of fun. You can combine a theater visit with dinner.
Don't be confused by a winter change to Logan,,,,they still play in Garden City in the summer.

Helpfulness
Garden City is small. There is a city path running along side the road. This is the designated way to move around the city once you are settled in. Take a walk, take a bike, pull out the stroller, but take it slow and enjoy the day.

The Bear's Den: more country chic
Segolily Says: This is really a miscellaneous jumble of really neat country things. Bears, and moose, furniture, knic knacs. Great fun to wander through.
Segolily Says: The best homemade fudge, ummmm! And homemade bread, you just have to buy the raspberry jam to put on it! And then before you go, get one of the chocolate covered marshmallows to eat while you are walking away. Oh they are mouthwatering good.
Lighthouse Landing: country chic
Segolily Says: I put it under local craft, but it is more than that. Do you want to decorate your home or cabin? Then come here for all the little things that will turn your house into your own expression of home.
Montpelier National Trails Center
Segolily Says: I finally made it in before they closed up. It is run by volunteers who tend to pack up and leave if things are slow. I'm glad we had our short visit . It is a very worthwhile exhibit of California/Oregon/westward trail information and re-creation. Montpelier was an...
Segolily Says: North of Bear Lake, is the town of Paris Idaho. Here Mormon pioneers built a meeting house. You can tour the building with a guide during summer. It is an interesting architecture and beautifully well kept. It is still used by the congregations in the area... On the fourth...
Favorite thing: have a raspberry shake, of course! The locally grown raspberries are the world's tastiest! The first weekend in August is Raspberry Days, and the town has a parade, craft and talent shows, and rodeos. There are fireworks and lighted boat parades on the lake. Don't miss it!
Fondest memory: I love to go boating on the lake, hike in the mountains surrounding the area and go horseback riding through the canyons.

Come to relax in Garden City. It is the place to head to for a Bear Lake Vacation. Don't plan on high end upscale lodging or restaurants. Burger joints and Raspberry shakes and...
Coming from Logan first you'll see the beautiful blue water of Bear Lake, then you'll drive down the mountain to the "T" in the road and you are there. No stop light needed at the busiest intersection...
Howdy, folks. Welcome to my Garden City home and Bear Lake. My wife and I have been building our retirement home, the Rocking E Ranch, for several years now. We bought 40 acres of unimproved land and...
