2023 Map of Bear Lake South

About this map

Bear Lake dominates the central and western portion of this landscape, its expansive waters framed by the rising elevations of the Bear River Range to the west and the carved topography of the eastern shore. The settlement of Garden City and the neighboring area of Garden serve as the primary hubs on the western edge, where roads like Bear Lake Blvd and Mayfly Ave reflect the residential and recreational development of this high-altitude basin. Across the water, the eastern shore is defined by a more dramatic and less densely populated terrain. Notable landmarks include the recreational area of Cisco Beach and the deep incisions of North Eden Canyon and South Eden Canyon. This topographical survey captures the tension between the developed lakeside communities and the steep, rugged slopes where seasonal drainages such as Little Creek and Cottonwood Creek flow toward the lake's turquoise depths.
