Due to the heliothermal phenomenon, its water heats up to 35 ° C to a depth of 2 meters. The highest temperature is measured at the beginning of the season, in July, which drops significantly by the end of August. The special composition of the salt water of Bear Lake and the mud on the lake shore are suitable for curing many diseases.
