Bear River Lake Reservoir

All season resort at 6000' elevation offering camping, lodging, fishing, RV hookups, swimming, boating, water skiing and snow mobiling. Eight deluxe lodging units with full kitchens. General store, laundromat, snack bar, gas, propane and boat rentals. Located 42 miles east of Jackson in Pioneer

The Upper Reservoir has to be accessed by portaging light, flatwater paddle boats from the eastern end of the Lower Reservoir. The opportunity is best for hardy paddlers that enjoy a rugged lake mostly to themselves.

The Lower Reservoir is open to all types of water craft and skiing. Prevalent winds make this a nice sail boating opportunity. Improved launch facilities are located near the dam and at the marina operated by the Bear River Lake Resort. An unimproved ramp is available below Pardoes Point Campground. This is the best launch site for accessing the Upper Reservoir about 2 miles further uplake.

In addition to facilities at Bear River Lake Resort, camping is available at three-single family and one group, concessionaire operated, Forest Service campgrounds. Except for the group campground, normal season is May 1-November 15.
