Discover Laketown on Bear Lake

Laketown lies on the southern shore of Bear Lake and represents a range of travel themes: the lake, history, and active excursions. Those planning a trip with different interests will find opportunities here for a day at a rodeo, historical discoveries, fishing, or a hike through aspen groves. When looking for a vacation apartment or vacation home in Laketown, you can therefore first consider which of these experiences should be the focus of your trip.

Rodeo and Landscapes Around Laketown

The Laketown Rodeo Arena is located at the intersection of 200 East and Rodeo Road on the southeastern edge of Laketown. Rodeos are held at the arena, and metal grandstands provide seating for up to 3,000 spectators. The arena is therefore not only a specific landmark but also an address for travelers who would like to include a rodeo in their plans.

The Laketown Canyon Trail also begins at the arena. The moderately difficult trail is seven miles long round trip and crosses the creek seven times. The path climbs through aspen groves, passes a reservoir, and reaches a spring three miles from the starting point. Those planning this hike can take the trail length and route into account when choosing their day's itinerary.

The Laketown Reservoir offers a different landscape experience. It is a municipal fishing area two miles south of Laketown on 200 East. For travelers who would like to combine a quieter stay with an excursion to the water, this location is a separate item on the itinerary. The Eastside area of Bear Lake State Park is also located nearby, on Cisco Road. There are five campgrounds there with beaches and boat ramps.

Historical Traces and a Visit by Appointment

Laketown also offers several specific opportunities to engage with its history. Construction of the Old Rock Store began in March 1907. The Historic Rock Store is considered one of Laketown's oldest landmarks. The Laketown Relief Society Hall also has a clearly documented chronology: construction began between 1899 and 1901, and the ceremonial dedication took place on July 29, 1906.

The Laketown DUP Relic Hall Camp Ithaca is located at 185 East 1st Street in Laketown. Visits to the Laketown DUP Relic Hall are available by prior appointment. This information is important for planning your day if you would like to combine the historical focus of your trip with a specific visit. For travelers interested in culture, this creates a different vacation itinerary than a day at the reservoir or on the Canyon Trail.

The Right Accommodation for Your Trip Planning

Laketown is particularly interesting as a destination for a vacation apartment or vacation home if you would like to combine different vacation ideas. Families and other travel groups can contrast an active day on the Laketown Canyon Trail with an excursion to historic sites or include the fishing area and Bear Lake State Park in their plans. Those who would like to rent a boat in summer will find a corresponding service from Rendezvous Beach Rentals at Rendezvous Beach State Park west of Laketown. Your choice of accommodation should therefore depend above all on which experiences you want to place at the center of your trip and how you would like to organize your days between nature, culture, and events.
