The water is so clear and clean that you can’t help but get out there and play on it!
Jean R./TripAdvisor Apparently, even dogs can appreciate this gorgeous place!
Rendevous Beach is on the Utah side of the lake.

When it’s hot, why sit on the beach?
Lizzy B01/TripAdvisor Put those chairs right in the water and cool off! The temperature of the lake was 68.5 degrees on August 15th, as reported by park rangers on the Bear Lake Facebook page.
Consider renting a sailboat to enjoy the lake even more.
