An 6-mile trail winds its way to the 1,500-year-old Jardine Juniper tree. A popular 2-mile hike to the Wind Caves offers an outstanding example of arches and rooms formed by wind and ice erosion.

Your destination highlight will be the historic Pat Hollow Plane Crash site, a memorial for a Korean War military unit that was lost in the 1950s. This trail is beginner level, excellent for all adventure seekers.
Fishing
Logan River is a blue-ribbon trout stream - one of the best in the Intermountain Region. It comes out of a canyon to the northeast of Logan and is accessible via US Hwy 89. The river provides about 30 miles of easily accessible, quality roadside trout fishing. Brown and rainbow trout are commonly caught on the lower river and in the impoundments, which are called First, Second and Third dams. Above the impoundments the river is primarily a wild trout stream. Browns and cutthroats both reproduce well in its crystal clear waters. Cutthroats are dominant in the higher reaches. The Logan is a wonderful fly fishing stream. Please check for Special Regulations!
Mountain Biking or Road Cycling
Logan Canyon is home to numerous trails that are great for mountain biking. With easy rides along the river to intermediate and endurance sections of the Great Western Trail, there is something for everyone to pedal in the Bear River Range. Logan Canyon is also a top hiking and fishing destination and cradles the Logan Canyon National Scenic Byway, which means beautiful views no matter how you travel the canyon. The Logan area is also a great spot for road cycling – the Tour of Utah route often runs through here.
Paddling and Kayaking around Bear Lake
Paddlers come to Bear Lake to launch onto shimmering water that reflects puffy clouds and rounded hills. The best time to hit the lake is in the morning before the wind builds up and the afternoon power-boat crowd starts cutting turns. The lake shines as a premier stand-up paddleboard venue with easily accessible open water, especially along the developed west coast. Bring your own board or, if you haven’t tried the sport before, rent one and take a lesson. Garden Park Beach and Rendezvous Beach are ideal spots with calm, shallow water and stellar views. Kayaks are also a popular way to explore Bear Lake’s expansive waters. Again, Garden Park and Rendezvous Beaches are perfect spots to rent a kayak and launch. For more privacy, head to the undeveloped east shore of Bear Lake and paddle around First Point, Cisco Beach, Rainbow Cove, and North Beach.
