2011 Map of Bear Lake North

About this map

Bear Lake dominates this northern shore survey, showing the intricate transition between the deep open water and the marshy expanse of Mud Lake. The landscape is defined by the narrow strip of land separating these bodies of water, where the settlement of Lifton and the Saint Charles Creek Fish Trap indicate a long-standing relationship with the local hydrology and fishing. The eastern shore is characterized by steep terrain rising toward Lake Ridge, cut by numerous drainage features such as Bee Hunt Hollow, Cooley Canyon, and Chokecherry Hollow. Along this eastern edge, small established points like Turnpike and Bear Lake Hot Springs highlight the area's history as a destination for travelers and recreation. The proximity of Bear Lake Sands further emphasizes the shoreline's composition, while E Shore Rd provides the primary corridor for navigating this interface between high ridges and the water's edge.
