What To Do at Bear Lake in The Winter

Winter transforms Bear Lake into the ultimate playground for outdoor winter activities. Whether you’re just visiting, or calling Bear Lake home, here’s what you can expect and what you’ll find available to you throughout winter.

What is there to do?

Winter at Bear Lake means skiing at Beaver Mountain, snowmobile adventures, ice fishing on the lake, snowshoeing through the woods or along the shoreline, fat biking, nordic or cross-country skiing, sledding, tubing and even birdwatching. Pretty much any winter activity you can think of!

What if I don’t have gear?

Winter rental options, like snowmobiles and snow ATVs, are available from local providers such as Bear Lake Funtime Rentals and Bloominite Rentals. If you’re looking to ski or snowboard and don’t have the gear, head to Beaver Mountain for the day and you can rent everything you need on-site.

Where can I relax and refuel?

After a day outdoors at Bear Lake, you have several options for dining. You can enjoy wood-fired pizzas and pasta at Bear Lake Pizza Co in Garden City or hearty comfort food at Coopers at Bear Lake West in Fish Haven. You can also check out Bear Trapper, Blue Water Bistro & Bakery, Cody’s Gastro Garage, or Café Sabor in Garden City, all providing an array of options for whatever you’re craving!
