     Bear Lake is great enough to spend more than a day at, Beaver Trails Campground is a great local campground, and going for a hike along the Mosquito Alley Truck Trail will let you absorb the natural beauty of this region. From a rain point of view Bear Lake is a quite typical place; September is the wettest month with most rain, and February on the other hand is the driest. This lake is so wonderful. Hiking along the Sterling Truck Trail is pleasant fun,  
   and if you've had enough of Bear Lake, Horseshoe Lake is close by. You'll wish for more hours in a day to enjoy all the fun things at Bear Lake. Really pleasant skiing awaits you at Skyline Ski Slide, and Super 8 West Branch is a great place to get some rest.
High temperatures at Bear Lake during the months of summer are in the 80's. When the night sets in temperatures dip down into the 50's. Throughout the wintertime this place gets highs in the 20's
 
               with winter lows in the 0's overnight here at Bear Lake. You're perhaps keen on lakes, Clear Lake is one of those close by. Bear Lake is right by the Lame Duck Truck Trail, and a golf course nearby is West Branch Country Club.

Much of the reason for that is that the bottom is very shallow (can freeze to the bottom and kill major populations of fish). Near the swamp, it is sometimes only inches deep and most boats cannot navigate ''the cove'' in the NE corner of the lake. The bottom appears to have a loose mud texture and is, therefore, easily disturbed. But, there is more to that story...

It is a fun lake for story-telling because it has as its bottom several feet of sawdust, which when merged with the natural sand and dirt compounds finds itself much like quicksand. At the top of that bottom layer (sawdust, mostly) is the volatile, easily disturbed, mystery muck. Hence, there isn't a beach on Elni. If you wonder about the veracity of my ''quicksand'' reference, take a good, thick stick (we used young poplars stripped of leaves, etc., to push our raft around the lake) and stick it into the bottom (a little off shore, since the very edges of the lake are sandy).
