Learn about early pioneers at the American West Heritage Centre. The living history museum is set at the foot of the Wellsville Mountains and offers a variety of family-friendly attractions and activities. Take a spin on a horse-drawn cart, feed baby farm animals and get lost in the corn maze. Costumed interpreters demonstrate trades like blacksmithing, weaving and breadmaking.
Sandy beaches and turquoise water make Bear Lake State Park one of the most popular outdoor recreation areas in Utah. Calcium carbonate mineral deposits suspended in the water give the lake a dazzling aquamarine hue. Bask in the sunshine, enjoy a beachside picnic and launch a kayak or canoe to explore the shoreline.
