We had a lovely 2 night stay at Bear Lake Lodgings- after a trip up to the Exit Glacier, we came in to a beautifully well kept place and a wonderful view from our room. Took the canoe out for an evening paddle and saw a family of river otters on the opposite shore having dinner. Came back to ice cream!!!! Bed was comfy, folks were wonderful and friendly (even the dogs!) and about the only concern was the elusive eagle that my husband, hard as he tried, couldn't get a good picture of (it was pretty funny- we'd be in the living room chatting and it would fly past the huge window over the lake and make circles, but he could sit on the deck with his camera for a half hour and it would disappear- until as soon as he put the camera away!) There's a Salmon Weir right up the street, the folks there were great about showing us the ladders used to make sure that just enough pairs (6000) get into the lake each spring. They were just beginning to run, and you could see them resting before they'd jump up and over (quite a sight!). We had the fun of going over just as it opened one morning and helping to rescue a fat 'ole muskrat that had gotten caught in the lift. Would recommend to everyone.
