Bear Lake has something for the whole family. It is operated by the Spokane County Park Department and is designed for the young angler (15 & younger), the disabled and the elderly. The park is laid out well with paved hiking paths, a playground and docks for swimming and fishing. It is a great place for a picnic or family reunion and is within 15 miles of Spokane. My special thanks to Paul Reece for contributing his music for this video.
