     This lake is one of the great places here in the Sawtooth Range. Two Point Mountain is clearly visible from Little Bear Lake. There's so much to do here at Little Bear Lake that you need to camp here for a while, River Bend Campground is a great place for that. Go for a hike on the Yellow Belly Trail; Greyhawk by ResortQuest is a brilliant place to get some rest.
That right there is plenty of entertaining stuff already but it goes on, the Sawtooth Range has
 
   it all. Goat Creek is close to Little Bear Lake and is always a diversion to stop at; Bass Lakes is a great lake close by. You just can't picture the amount of outdoors fun things the area right next door to Little Bear Lake has to offer. If you don't mind getting drenched, you can always go whitewater paddling on Salmon River. Lakes? Sure, Perkons Lake is in close proximity. This lake is so wonderful.
You'll in fact wish for more hours in a day to enjoy
 
               all the fun things in the Sawtooth Range. Hit the slopes at Soldier Mountain Ski Resort in the vicinity, and there is a great hiking trail nearby called the Bremner Trail.

Daytime highs during the wintertime are in the 20's; after the sun is down through the wintertime temperatures at Little Bear Lake dip into the 0's.

This lake is so wonderful. Going for a hike on the Yuba River Trail is always a glorious adventure, and Little Bear Lake is good enough to spend more than a day at, Skeleton Campground is a good local campground.

Imogene is a beautiful lake with a complex shoreline, worthy of hours of exploration, as are its family of 15 lakes and pools downstream from it....

Hell Roaring Lake
14 miles away
Hi, we (wife and I) walked into the lake the 3rd week of July 2008; we took the unmaintained road to about 200 yards from the trailhead. If you take this in lieu of the walk in, plan on a 40 minute drive to cover 5-miles; your vehicle (should be high-center 4-wd) will get scratched up from the branches adjacent to the road. The parking lot holds 6-vehicles...if you encounter another vehicle coming at you, there are very few areas where you can back into/get off the road to let the other pass; it is a 'long way' to back up on a challenging road. To get to the trail head from the parking lot, you will ford 2-branches of the river/stream (10 ? 20? across)...walk across deadfall with the aid of a walking stick...or walk thru the water...just below the knee. We walked in on a tuesday and encountered 15+ people coming/going on the path. Easy 2-mile walk, many mosquitoes...quicker coming back....
