This lake is part of Bear Lake County Park off Highway US-2. This is a juvenile fishing rules lake: only juveniles (under age 15), senior anglers, or anglers with a disability who have a designated harvester companion card are allowed to fish. This lake has largemouth bass, perch, and rainbow trout. Bear Lake is stocked annually with broodstock, put-grow-and-take, and catchable size rainbows. Channel catfish are periodically stocked which provides a good fishery.
NOTE: Anglers will not be able to access this lake for most of 2024. Spokane County will be closing Bear Lake County Park for renovations April 1, and the park will remain closed until the first week in November.
Two-pole fishing is NOT allowed
Shoreline access: Good - Most of the lake is accessible to shoreline angling.
