Bear Lake State Park, also known as North Beach State Park, is a state park and public recreation area located near the Cache mountain range in the southeastern corner of Idaho that borders the north and eastern shores of Bear Lake. Situated 15 miles south of Montpelier, the park rests across the lake from St Charles and offers a range of recreational activities such as swimming in the lake, fishing, boating, kayaking, and camping along the shores. There are two beaches in the park and safe swimming in the unique turquoise blue water which gets its color from suspended calcium carbonate (limestone) in the water. Large serviced campsites are available with electricity and water hookups.
