BOISE, Idaho (CBS2) — Some changes are coming for visitors who frequently visit Bear Lake State Park in southeastern Idaho.
The Idaho State Parks and Recreation said Thursday that it will begin a day-use reservation system for the popular North Beach area. Beginning on Monday, visitors will be able to make day-use reservations for the season.
“Anyone who has tried to visit the park during summer months can attest that it gets busy fast,” shared Park Ranger, Andrew Stokes. “Each weekend, we are full by about 10 am and have to turn cars away due to over-capacity. A reservation would give visitors peace of mind and guaranteed entry into the park.”
The system will accommodate an average of 700 vehicle permits per day, but that number is subject to fluctuating water levels and lake height.
