The local area, known regionally as Southeast Idaho, is located geographically in the triangle formed by the northern Utah border, the western Wyoming border, and the Snake River plain in southern Idaho. This region features fertile croplands on the floor of the Bear River basin, rolling grasslands in the adjacent foothills, and timbered slopes and rocky peaks on the majestic mountain ranges that loom to almost 10,000 feet. Not only is this a productive agricultural area, but many big and small games species flourish in the abundant habitat found in the diverse makeup of the land. Elk, mule deer, and moose are commonly seen in the forest and foothill areas, while pheasants, sharp tail grouse, partridge and other smaller game are found nearer the croplands and CRP fields. Bear Lake is a major attractor of recreationists to the area, with fishing, boating, and camping offering outdoor opportunities. The Bear River is the largest flowing waterway in the region, and offers chances to fish for trout and walleye. Many white water enthusiasts enjoy kayaking, rafting, and tubing on the faster portions of the river. In the winter season, hundreds of miles of snowmobile trails are groomed for snowmobilers to have easy access to the mountain playgrounds. If one loves the outdoors, not many places offer a bigger diversity of opportunities than Southeast Idaho.
