Foundation of Bear Lake

Dear Friends of Bear Lake,

The Foundation of Bear Lake is a 501 C3 and was organized in 2015 by a group of citizens from the Bear Lake area. Our mission: The Foundation of Bear Lake in collaboration with individuals and philanthropic partners will strive to create a safety corridor for recreation, memorable experiences for friends and families who come to the Bear Lake area, and to strengthen the needs of communities in the Bear Lake Valley now and for future generations.

The Bear Lake Regional Commission organized a focus group to help Bear Lake and Rich counties, and Utah and Idaho work together for the betterment of the Bear Lake Valley. They created a Blueprint for communities to use as a guide for the future planning and development.

Bear Lake has grown exponentially since the recession and the demand for outdoor recreation opportunities has increased. The path will help locals as well as those who come to our valley be safe. It will take approximately $2 million to $4 million to finish the bike path.

Most visitors to our area like to walk to the lake and the one lake park we have is at capacity on weekends. It will take about $1 million to build the new park.

In order to raise money for help in the building of the bike/walking path around the lake and secondly to locate another beach park in Garden City we are asking for donations of $25 per family and $100.00 per business to help improve the valley.

The donations can be given at any Wells Fargo Bank to the Foundation of Bear Lake.

Also, your greatly appreciated donation can be mailed to: PO Box 88, Garden City, UT 84028.

Anytime you order online on Amazon if you choose Foundation of Bear Lake, Amazon Smiles contributes 1 penny for every dollar you spend to the Foundation.
