Rich County, in the northeastern corner
of Utah, offers a unique outdoor, old west
experience. Located 123 miles from Salt Lake City,
the tiny county provides a vacation or retreat from
the Wasatch Front featuring Bear Lake and high
mountain outdoor activities. It includes the cities
of Randolph, Woodruff, Laketown and Garden City.
Bear Lake, with 110 square miles of surface area and pristine water
quality, is a Mecca for water sports. Activities include sail-boating,
swimming, skiing, and scuba diving. Resorts in the area provide access
to golfing and tennis. Due to Bear Lake's isolation, a fragile lake
ecosystem has evolved and resulted in great fishing. Fish-story sized
Mackinaw and lake trout are sought by avid fishermen along with white
fish. The famous Bonneville Cisco are harvested in mid January by
dipping the fish from the lake in nets, often through holes cut through
the ice.
The western edge of Rich County contains some 50,000 acres of the Cache
National Forest and the eastern edge borders the Crawford Mountains.
High mountain recreational opportunities span the seasons. Winter offers
cross country skiing and snowmobiling. Spring features high mountain
valleys full of wildflowers. Summer and fall hiking, camping and
backpacking and horseback riding opportunities abound for the novice or
the more experienced. Deep, long canyons show fall colors at their best
with aspen, pine, maple combinations. Hunting opportunities include elk
and deer, along with moose and antelope. Other small game are hunted as
well.
In addition, Rich County's heritage is steeped in agriculture and Mormon
pioneer folklore. Large cattle ranches provide a peek at the old west.
Cowboys, horses and rodeos spaced throughout the summer are part of the
lifestyle. Each small Rich County town provides a unique look at the
turn of the century Mormon architecture. |
