Bear Lake Funtime
Bear Lake Funtime is a rental outfitter at 1217 S Bear Lake Blvd in Garden City, part of the larger Bear Lake Fun network that operates several rental locations around the lake. Unlike the marina location, Bear Lake Funtime's boats and Sea-Doos come on a trailer, so you tow them to whichever launch point you want, while UTVs can be driven straight from the lot.
What to expect
This location's fleet covers Sea-Doos, ski boats, wakeboard and surf boats, and pontoon boats, all rented on trailers for a set 8-hour window (typically 9am to 5pm), plus street-legal UTV side-by-sides you drive directly from the property into the surrounding trails and roads. There's also a small store on site for boating supplies, oil, and basic repair items, useful if something on your rig needs a quick fix mid-trip. In winter, the same location shifts over to snowmobile rentals, and they also offer camping cabin rentals for those who want to stay near the water without pitching a tent.
Hours and pricing
Summer rentals run in 8-hour day blocks, generally 9am to 5pm, with pricing varying widely by equipment, a Sea-Doo costs noticeably less than a large wakeboard boat, so it's worth checking current rates for your specific group size and interest. Reservations made less than 48 hours out for certain equipment (wakeboards, tubes) may need a phone call rather than an online booking.
Location and parking
1217 S Bear Lake Blvd, Garden City, UT 84028, on the main strip through town with parking and trailer loading space on site.
Local tips
Because the boats and Sea-Doos here are trailered rather than already in the water, this location works well if you'd rather launch from a quieter spot than the busy marina, or if you're staying somewhere with easier lake access than the state park ramp. If you're only renting a UTV, this is one of the more central pickup points in town.
