Bear Lake Watch News-Julie Johnson

 How often does Bear Lake freeze over?

Records started in 1923 of freezes and thaws and the lake was judged to be “frozen over” when from a high viewpoint (like Logan Canyon overlook) there was no visible open water on the lake.

Since 1923, freeze-over has occurred 66% of the time, about 2 out of every 3 years.
