Bear Lake was formed by earthquake activity about 28,000 years ago and its unique aqua blue color is the result of calcium carbonate floating in the lake.

At 5,923 feet, Bear Lake stretches over 112 square miles and is one of the largest lakes in the United States and the second largest lake in California.

The beach is named after a famous meeting of fur trappers and Indians that took place in the summer of 1827 - 1828. The meeting was attended by more than a thousand Indians and miners, including Jedediah Smith. Bear Lake was originally called "Black Bear's Lake" by the explorers of the North West Fur Company, who discovered it while looking for fur animals, mainly beavers, to meet the urban demand for hats, but the name was later changed to "Bear Lake."

The terrain is rocky and the water depth quickly drops to 208 feet, but the primitive area is on the west side of the lake, just off the north shore of Bear Lake. The area, described by one observer as an "illuminated city," is bordered by a series of narrow gorges and a small stream with a total depth of about 1,000 feet.

Hard-boiled fishermen, who wade through holes in the ice into the icy water when the lake is frozen, are easily scooped up. The beach of Cisco is surrounded by a series of narrow gorges and a small stream with a total depth of about 1,000 feet.

The rocky bottom and steep cliffs along the coast make it an ideal place for kayaking, snorkeling and fishing. Cisco Beach is also known for its beautiful views of Lake Bear and the Great Smoky Mountains, as well as for the spectacular views from the beach.

Two dive sites have been designated and marked for this activity, and wooden walkways help divers get into the water with all their necessary equipment.
