45-465: Today the lake is a popular destination for tourists and sports enthusiasts, and the surrounding valley has gained a reputation for having high-quality raspberries . The first known inhabitants of the Bear Lake Valley were Shoshone tribes, but the area was known to many Native Americans . The first record of Europeans seeing the lake is from 1818 when French-Canadian trappers working for

90-423: A direct threat to raspberry plants but also increase the risk of transmitting various plant diseases. This dual impact can significantly undermine agricultural productivity, making it crucial for raspberry growers to implement effective pest management strategies to mitigate the damage caused by Japanese beetle infestations. In 2022, world production of raspberries was 947,852 tonnes , led by Russia with 22% of

135-1029: A low- glycemic index food, with total sugar content of only 4% and no starch . The aggregate fruit structure contributes to raspberry's nutritional value, as it increases the proportion of dietary fiber, which is among the highest known in whole foods – up to 6% fiber per total weight. Raspberries contain phytochemicals , such as anthocyanin pigments , ellagic acid , ellagitannins , quercetin , gallic acid , cyanidins , pelargonidins , catechins , kaempferol and salicylic acid . Yellow raspberries and others with pale-colored fruits are lower in anthocyanin content. Both yellow and red raspberries contain carotenoids, mostly lutein esters, but these are masked by anthocyanins in red raspberries. Raspberry compounds are under preliminary research for their potential to affect human health. Raspberry leaves can be used fresh or dried in herbal teas , providing an astringent flavor. In herbal and traditional medicine , raspberry leaves are used for some remedies, although there

180-532: A pH between 6 and 7 with ample organic matter to assist in retaining water. While moisture is essential, wet and heavy soils or excess irrigation can bring on Phytophthora root rot, which is one of the most serious pest problems facing the red raspberry. As a cultivated plant in moist, temperate regions, it is easy to grow and tends to spread unless pruned. Escaped raspberries frequently appear as garden weeds, spread by seeds found in bird droppings. An individual raspberry weighs 3–5 g (0.11–0.18 oz) and

225-411: A rich source of vitamin C , manganese , and dietary fiber . A raspberry is an aggregate fruit , developing from the numerous distinct carpels of a single flower. What distinguishes the raspberry from its blackberry relatives is whether or not the torus ( receptacle or stem) "picks with" (i.e., stays with) the fruit. When picking a blackberry fruit, the torus stays with the fruit. With a raspberry,

270-694: A rough surface, related to the Old English rasp or "rough berry". Examples of raspberry species in Rubus subgenus Idaeobatus include: Several species of Rubus , also called raspberries, are classified in other subgenera, including: Various kinds of raspberries can be cultivated from hardiness zones 3 to 9. Raspberries are traditionally planted in the winter as dormant canes, although planting of tender, plug plants produced by tissue culture has become much more common. A specialized production system called "long cane production" involves growing canes for

315-423: A sheltered harbor, an 80-foot (24 m)-wide concrete boat ramp, boat slips, 13 campsites, restrooms, and showers. There is also a visitor center, along with a business renting boats and selling fishing and boating supplies. 41°57′54″N 111°23′57″W  /  41.96493°N 111.39922°W  / 41.96493; -111.39922  ( Bear Lake State Park (Utah)'s marina ) The East Side portions of

360-485: A year in a northern climate such as Scotland or Oregon or Washington , where the chilling requirement for proper bud break is attained, or attained earlier than the ultimate place of planting. These canes are then dug, roots and all, to be replanted in warmer climates such as Spain, where they quickly flower and produce a very early season crop. Plants are typically planted 2–6 per m in fertile, well drained soil; raspberries are usually planted in raised beds/ridges, if there

405-487: Is a 1.25-mile-long (2.01 km) recreation area with 220 campsites, along with restrooms, showers, and utility hookups. It is a popular area for large gatherings such as family reunions . A local business rents small boats and personal water craft . The Bear Lake Marina area is located about 8 miles north of Rendezvous on the west side of the lake, about 2 miles south of the Idaho border. The Bear Lake Marina area provides

450-404: Is a common fungal infection of raspberries and other soft fruit under wet conditions. It is seen as a gray mold growing on the raspberries, and particularly affects fruit which are bruised, as the bruises provide an easy entrance point for the spores. Raspberry plants should not be planted where potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, or bulbs have previously been grown, without prior fumigation of

495-623: Is any question about root rot problems. All cultivars of raspberries have perennial roots, but many do not have perennial shoots. In fact, most raspberries have shoots that are biennial (meaning shoots grow in the first growing season and fruits grow on those shoots during the second growing season). The flowers can be a major nectar source for honeybees and other pollinators. Raspberries are vigorous and can be locally invasive. They propagate using basal shoots (also known as suckers), extended underground shoots that develop roots and individual plants. They can sucker new canes some distance from

540-476: Is made up of around 100 drupelets , each of which consists of a juicy pulp and a single central seed. A raspberry bush can yield several hundred berries a year. Raspberry derives its name from raspise , "a sweet rose-colored wine" (mid-15th century), from the Anglo-Latin vinum raspeys , or from raspoie , meaning "thicket", of Germanic origin. The name may have been influenced by its appearance as having

585-399: Is named for the historic rendezvous of fur trappers and Native Americans held here during the summers of 1827 and 1828. A thousand or more Native Americans and mountain men , including Jedediah Smith , attended these gatherings. There were so many campfires at the south end of the lake at these trading sessions that one observer called the area "a lighted city." Today Rendezvous Beach

630-818: Is no scientifically valid evidence to support their medicinal use. Bear Lake State Park (Utah) Bear Lake State Park is a state park of Utah , USA, along the shore of Bear Lake on the Idaho border. It offers three recreation areas: Rendezvous Beach, Bear Lake Marina, and East Side, which comprises several more segments. The park also hosts many annual events, such as a Mountain Man Rendezvous and Bear Lake Raspberry Days. Recreational activities include waterskiing , swimming , scuba diving , and sailing . Anglers enjoy year-round fishing for cutthroat trout , mackinaw trout , Bonneville cisco , and whitefish . Download coordinates as: Rendezvous Beach

675-545: Is the edible fruit of several plant species in the genus Rubus of the rose family , most of which are in the subgenus Idaeobatus . The name also applies to these plants themselves. Raspberries are perennial with woody stems . World production of raspberries in 2022 was 947,852 tonnes , led by Russia with 22% of the total. Raspberries are cultivated across northern Europe and North America and are consumed in various ways, including as whole fruit and in preserves , cakes, ice cream, and liqueurs . Raspberries are

720-597: The Bear River Mountains . The lake and surrounding areas are popular summer tourist destinations. The lake has many marinas, beaches, and two tourist towns in Utah: Garden City and Laketown . It also has two state parks , each named Bear Lake State Park: one in Idaho and one in Utah. The Utah state park includes a one-half-mile-long Rendezvous Beach at the south end of the lake, the location of

765-434: The 1827 and 1828 rendezvous , and a three-mile-long Cisco Beach on the east side, plus the additional campground, marina, and boat ramp areas. The Idaho state park includes north and an east unit, each with a one-mile-long beach. Bear Lake National Wildlife Refuge extends up from the north end of the lake. Bear Lake has a high rate of endemism (native species not naturally found anywhere else). Several species evolved in

810-516: The 1850s, it seems none of them went south enough to view the lake. It was not until 1863 that Mormon pioneers led by Charles C. Rich settled in the Bear Lake Valley, but they made an agreement with Native Americans, which left most of the Utah portion of the valley in Indian possession. Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints gradually moved south and established the villages of Garden City , Pickelville , and Laketown, each along

855-545: The Bear Lake Cutthroat Trout strain. This trout has flourished in other large bodies of cool water, including the Strawberry and Scofield reservoirs. "The Bonneville cisco eat only small aquatic invertebrates or zooplankton. They are eaten by larger fish in the lake including whitefish, Bonneville Cutthroat Trout, and introduced lake trout ." Although several fish species have been introduced into

900-603: The Bear River for 11,000 years, though Bear River has connected to Bear Lake naturally several times over the 250,000-year existence of the Lake. In later years, Bear Lake became a resort and recreation area, with many developers selling lake shore and mountain view lots. The beaches of Lakota and Ideal were given to private development in the 1970s, including the Blue Water and Sweetwater developments. The State of Utah bought

945-837: The North West Company followed the Bear River upstream to the valley. Originally named "Black Bear Lake" by Donald McKenzie , an explorer for the North West Fur Company who explored the lake in 1819, the name was later shortened to Bear Lake. Following his exploration of the lake, Mckenzie held what is known to be the largest rendezvous of Native Americans to take place in the Rocky Mountains. Nearly 10,000 American Indians from various tribes camped along 7 miles of Bear Lake's north shore, trading with Mckenzie and his trapping company. The south end of

990-479: The eastern United States are derivatives of red raspberries. Yellow-fruited variants of the black raspberry are sometimes grown in home gardens. Red raspberries have also been crossed with various species in other subgenera of the genus Rubus , resulting in a number of hybrids , the first of which was the loganberry . Later notable hybrids include the olallieberry , boysenberry , marionberry , and tayberry ; all are multi-generational hybrids. Hybridization between

1035-468: The familiar cultivated red raspberries and a few Asiatic species of Rubus has also been achieved. Numerous raspberry cultivars have been selected. Two types of raspberry are available for commercial and domestic cultivation; the summer-bearing type produces an abundance of fruit on second-year canes (floricanes) within a relatively short period in midsummer, and double or "everbearing" plants, which also bear some fruit on first-year canes (primocanes) in

1080-523: The far southeast beach for use as a state park , and the state also operates a marina on the lake's west side. Download coordinates as: Formed in a half graben valley straddling the Idaho-Utah border, the lake has an approximate area of 109 square miles (280 km) and sits at an elevation of 5,924 feet (1,806 m) along the northeast side of the Wasatch Range and the east side of

1125-460: The lake's shore. In 1911 a diversion was constructed at Wardboro, Idaho that redirected the majority of the flow of the Bear River into Bear Lake via Mud Lake. Water then exits Bear Lake via an outlet canal to rejoin the Bear River. This allows the upper 6.5 meters of Bear Lake to act as a reservoir for the Bear River, storing spring runoff for irrigation later in the year. Before the construction of this connection, Bear Lake had been isolated from

1170-515: The lake's waters, but many went extinct after the diversion of the Bear River into the lake. Surviving known endemic species of fish include the Bear Lake strain of the Bonneville cutthroat trout , Bonneville cisco , Bonneville whitefish , Bear Lake whitefish , and Bear Lake sculpin . There have been attempts to transplant these species to other areas without success, with the exception of

1215-634: The lake, in the area of modern-day Laketown , was also the location of two of the annual Rocky Mountain Rendezvous in the summers of 1827 and 1828. Mountain men , including Jedediah Smith and Jim Bridger , gathered at this location, along with trade goods suppliers and American Indians from several different tribes. The mountain men and Indians sold their furs in exchange for various store goods and supplies, and several weeks were spent reveling in assorted amusements and liquor. Smith's arrival in June 1827

1260-507: The lake, those native species which survived the Bear River diversion have continued to thrive under careful management. Water from the lake is used for irrigation in the nearby Bear Valley in southeast Idaho and for recreational fishing . The lake drains via the Bear River Outlet, completed in 1915, into the Bear River which eventually flows into the northeast portion of Great Salt Lake . Bear Lake has become famous for

1305-646: The late summer and fall, as well as the summer crop on second-year canes. Those marked (AGM) have gained the Royal Horticultural Society 's Award of Garden Merit . Raspberries are sometimes eaten by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species (butterflies and moths). More serious are the raspberry beetle (in Europe) and the raspberry fruitworm (in North America), whose larvae can damage raspberries. Botrytis cinerea , or gray mold,

1350-460: The main plant. For this reason, raspberries spread well, and can take over gardens if left unchecked. Raspberries are often propagated using cuttings, and will root readily in moist soil conditions. The fruit is harvested when it comes off the receptacle easily and has turned a deep color (red, black, purple, or golden yellow, depending on the species and cultivar). This is when the fruits are ripest and sweetest. High tunnel bramble production offers

1395-577: The native North American red raspberries classified as either R. idaeus subsp. strigosus , or R. idaeus var. strigosus . Recent breeding has resulted in cultivars that are thornless and more strongly upright, not needing staking. The black raspberry, Rubus occidentalis , is also cultivated, providing both fresh and frozen fruit, as well as jams, preserves, and other products, all with that species' distinctive flavor. Purple raspberries have been produced by horticultural hybridization of red and black raspberries, and have also been found in

1440-409: The opportunity to bridge gaps in availability during late fall and late spring. Furthermore, high tunnels allow less hardy floricane-fruiting raspberries to overwinter in climates where they would not otherwise survive. In the tunnel, plants are established at close spacing usually prior to tunnel construction. Raspberries are an important commercial fruit crop, widely grown in all temperate regions of

1485-513: The originally introduced Bear Lake Raspberry plants were infected with a fungal virus during 2001 called the " raspberry bushy dwarf virus ". Fewer than five acres survived. The epidemic resulted in most of the large berry businesses in Garden City being wiped out. Some crop acreage was replaced by newly introduced virus-resistant plants. Although some varieties of raspberries are resistant to the virus, none produce fruit as succulent and sweet as

Then 2 miles further begins the Cisco Beach area, which runs approximately three miles from South Eden campground at

1575-440: The previously cultivated plants. The raspberry business has since been redeveloped, and raspberries are again thriving, mostly in the southern end of the valley. One of the main reasons Bear Lake has become a popular vacation destination is due to the high amount of recreational activities and attractions that are available throughout the year. In the summertime, swimming, water-skiing, jet-skiing, boating, and sailing draw people to

1620-455: The soil. These crops are hosts for the disease Verticillium wilt , a fungus that can stay in the soil for many years and can infest the raspberry crop. Raspberries, among other plants with high sugar content like peaches, are prime targets for the Japanese beetle , which relies heavily on these sources as its main food resource. The voracious feeding habits of Japanese beetles not only pose

1890-498: The whitebark raspberry, R. leucodermis . Both the red and the black raspberry species have albino-like pale-yellow natural or horticultural variants, resulting from presence of recessive genes that impede production of anthocyanin pigments. Fruits from such plants are called golden raspberries or yellow raspberries; despite their similar appearance, they retain the distinctive flavor of their respective species (red or black). Most pale-fruited raspberries commercially sold in

1935-613: The wild in a few places (for example, in Vermont ) where the American red and the black raspberries both grow naturally. Commercial production of purple-fruited raspberries is rare. Blue raspberry is a local name used in Prince Edward County, Ontario , Canada, for the cultivar 'Columbian', a hybrid (purple raspberry) of R. strigosus and R. occidentalis . Blue raspberry can also refer to

1980-524: The world. Many of the most important modern commercial red raspberry cultivars derive from hybrids between R. idaeus and R. strigosus .
