Aspen Grove RV Park

Anyone angling for a day (or two) with rod and reel is particularly well served hereabouts: the banks of Bear River are about five minutes’ drive from base if catfish, bullhead, Asian carp, walleye or largemouth bass are on the to-catch list, and Bear Lake is a little under an hour and a half away if landing trout is what floats the boat. For less hands-on encounters with local wildlife, a trip to the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge is a must – hunting and fishing are allowed here (with the proper licences of course), but birdwatchers will be flying highest after days spying out pelicans, swans, plovers and teals. Hikes and drives through fab scenery are within easy reach at Logan Canyon (30 minutes) – a top spot for snowmobiling and skiing during colder months – and bikers can follow the Eagle Rise Trail in nearby Brigham City. Even sweeter times can be had in Brigham with a drive along Utah’s Famous Fruit Way if time behind the wheel gets motors running. Craving a bit more urban life than Tremonton has to offer? Make the hour-and-10-minute journey to Salt Lake City and explore the Red Butte botanic gardens, Utah’s Hogle Zoo, the Clark Planetarium, and the headquarters of the Church of the Latter-day Saints at Temple Square.
