Bear Lake Marina Expansion: Basin Enclosed, Spring 2028 Target
Marina expansion basin enclosed and dewatered; existing Marina open; spring 2028 target.
Work on the Bear Lake marina expansion keeps moving. The project site says the new marina basin is now fully enclosed and dewatered, with crews excavating the interior for more depth in low-water years and shaping the interior dike slopes. The existing State Park Marina stays open year-round while construction continues.
Next up: the new boat ramp, then reopening the enclosed area so water can return — that phase is expected later this fall. Full opening is still aimed at spring 2028. Boaters should stay outside the buoy lines near the construction zone; drivers should slow down entering and exiting the marina parking lot.
The expansion is a Utah DFCM and DNR project meant to add slips, launch capacity, and depth. For current park facilities and ramp advisories, check Utah State Parks’ Bear Lake conditions page.
