One of the main attractions of the area is the stunning Bear River, which flows through the park and provides ample opportunities for water-based activities. Visitors can also explore the lush forests, meadows, and rugged mountains that surround the park, which are home to a diverse array of wildlife, including deer, elk, and moose.

Some specific points of interest within the park include the Bear Lake Scenic Byway, which offers sweeping views of the surrounding mountains and valleys, and the Logan River Trail, which winds through the heart of the park and offers stunning views of the river and its surrounding flora and fauna.

Interesting facts about the area include the fact that it is named after the grizzly bears that once roamed the region, and that it is also home to several historic sites, such as the Logan Cave National Historic Site and the Bear River Massacre Site.

The best time of year to visit Beargrass Park depends on the activities you are interested in. Summer is the most popular time to visit, as the weather is warm and sunny, and there are plenty of opportunities for outdoor recreation. However, fall is also a great time to visit, as the changing leaves create a stunning display of color, and the cooler temperatures make for comfortable hiking and camping conditions.
