Bear River Compact
The original Bear River Compact of 1958 and the Amended Bear River Compact of 1980, in conjunction with the Bylaws of the Bear River Compact Commission, various court decrees, and the laws of the States of Wyoming, Idaho, and Utah, establish the framework under which the waters of the Bear River are divided. This framework regulates how the waters of the Bear River are distributed to water users in Wyoming, Idaho, and Utah as the River threads its way in and out of state lines, first in a northerly direction, then with a turn to the west and a reversal of directions to the south, and eventually terminating in the Great Salt Lake.
