About the bear river
The Bear River is a 491-mile-long river that flows through Wyoming, Utah, and Idaho. It is the largest river in the Great Basin and is an important source of water for agriculture, industry, and recreation. Historically, the river was used by Native American tribes for fishing and hunting. In the 1800s, settlers began diverting water from the river for irrigation, which led to conflicts over water rights. Today, the river is managed by several agencies, including the Bureau of Reclamation and the Bear River Commission. There are several reservoirs and dams along the river, including the Cutler Dam and Reservoir, which is used for irrigation and flood control, and the Bear Lake Reservoir, which is a popular spot for boating and fishing. The Bear River also supports a variety of fish and wildlife, including trout, beavers, and bald eagles.
