Loop the lake by heading north into Idaho before riding down the eastern shore. Take a break at one of its beaches or pop into the Bear Lake National Wildlife Refuge to spot some native birds and wildlife. If you'd like to extend this adventure, there are plenty of established campgrounds along the route, or dispersed camping opportunities in Cache National Forest
