Find over a mile of beach at the north end of the lake with some of the best sand Bear Lake has to offer. North Beach provides beach access, two boat ramps, a life jacket loaner station, picnic tables, and restrooms.
As a popular destination in the warmer months, North Beach often reaches capacity. If you’re coming to play on the beach or launch a boat,
purchase a Parking Day Pass up to 9 months in advance.
Important Notes:
- The Parking Day Pass is not the same as the Idaho Parks Passport
- The Parking Day Pass is an optional service we offer in order to better serve our visitors and minimize the amount of cars we must turn away
- Where applicable, park or program managers may limit or deny access to an area whenever it has reached its designated capacity.
- No dogs are allowed
- No fireworks
- No glass bottles on beach
- No fires on beach (propane fire rings & charcoal grills are allowed)
