From the America's Byways web site:

Pull off the road here for a bird's-eye view of Bear Lake. On clear days, the incredible turquoise blue color of this huge desert lake is caused by limestone particles suspended in the lake. Native American tribes, such as the Shoshone, Bannock and Utes, once gathered here to fish and hunt. From 1824-1828, mountain men also gathered here in great rendezvous or trading fairs, which to these independent wanderers, was a county fair, fiesta and carnival all rolled into one. Today's visitors flock to the lake's sandy beaches and inviting waters to swim, water ski, sun bathe, and sail
