Bear Lake Idaho/Utah border advice please.

[41Dude]

We are beginning to look at Spring and Summer travel for the new year.
Anyone have any experience, advice, suggestions for Bear Lake?
I am about halfway through the novel Centennial (thanks to all on the book suggestion) and found the history of Bear Lake fascinating.
Thanks++++++

Montpelier Idaho has a pioneer museum.

Bear lake is nice. A lot of water sports there

Bear Lake is COLD all year round even in August. Lots of private shoreline and very few trees. There are things to do especially if you have/rent a Boat. It is a large lake in a mostly sage brush filed valley. For the most part I am not a fan.

Thank you for that. I have been researching it. A LOT of nothing around the lake. Unless you like sagebrush. I do not.
Thank you for your help

Great fishing on Bear Lake, but access is a PITA. Wife and I were gifted a weekend in a Timeshare for our honeymoon almost 20 years ago. Other than that, I have only been to Bear Lake a couple of times in all the years I have lived here.

The Raspberry festival is HUGE, lots of crowds, but fantastic shakes.
