 Bloomington Lake |
||||||
Bloomington is located on US Highway 89 (part of the Oregon Trail-Bear Lake Scenic Byway) just a few miles south of Paris and a few miles north of Bear Lake. Minnetonka Cave is southwest of town in the Wasatch Mountains. As Bloomington was originally founded by Mormon pioneers/homesteaders, it seems to still be a primarily Mormon settlement. The town of Bloomington is down in the Bear River Valley with the northern Wasatch Mountains rising to the west and the northern end of the Dingle Swamp (aka: Bear Lake National Wildlife Refuge) to the east. The Caribou-Targhee National Forest boundary is just a couple miles west of town. A lot of folks go to the swim beach at Bear Lake State Park on a hot day or go west on FR Road #409 to Bloomington Lake to escape the heat. |
