| Additional Information |
Rainbow Canal runs from east side of the valley, near the town of Dingle, Idaho, sending water from the Bear River into Bear Lake. "The Bear River enters Bear Lake Valley through a gap in the East Hills, near the north end of the valley. In the early 1900s the Rainbow Canal was built to divert the river into Bear Lake and the Bear Lake Outlet canal was built to carry water back to the Bear River. A levee was built along the north end of the lake with a spillway and power plant. Numerous creeks flow out of the Bear River Mountains and a few from the other side of the valley."--from website: http://www.untraveledroad.com/USA/Idaho/BearLake/Valley.htm |
