Relocating to Bear Lake?

Relocating to Bear Lake, which spans both Utah and Idaho, is an exciting adventure!

Our region is known for its stunning views, outdoor recreational opportunities, and friendly communities. There are a few key things to keep in mind before making the move to ensure a smooth transition.

Climate and Weather

Bear Lake experiences distinct seasons, each with its own benefits. Summers are warm and perfect for lake activities, while winters can be quite cold with significant snowfall, ideal for winter sports. Spring and fall bring mild temperatures and beautiful scenery, but it's essential to be prepared for the weather changes.

Outdoor Recreation

One of the biggest draws to Bear Lake is the abundance of outdoor activities. From boating, fishing, and swimming in the summer to snowmobiling, skiing, and ice fishing in the winter, there's something for everyone. If you love the outdoors, you'll never run out of things to do here.

Local Community

Bear Lake is home to close-knit communities that value maintaining a small town feel. Residents often participate in local events and festivals, such as the famous Bear Lake Raspberry Days (see the section above!). Embracing the local culture and getting involved in community activities can help you feel more connected and at home.

Cost of Living

Compared to many urban areas, the cost of living around Bear Lake can be more affordable, but it's essential to do your research. Housing costs, in particular, can vary depending on how close to the lake itself you decide to live. Generally, Bear Lake offers a good balance of affordability and quality of life.

Education and Schools

If you have children, you'll be pleased to know that Bear Lake offers access to quality education. Both the Utah and Idaho sides have their respective school districts with public school options. If you’re looking for colleges, Utah State University is just a short canyon drive away in Logan, Utah.

Healthcare Facilities

While Bear Lake is a relatively rural area, there are healthcare facilities and services available to residents right around the lake. For more specialized medical care, you might need to travel to larger nearby cities such as Logan, Utah, or Montpelier, Idaho.
