Big Bear Lake Vacations, Tourism & Travel Information

OUR TAKE ON BIG BEAR LAKE

A mere two hours from Los Angeles lies the quaint mountain town of Big Bear. Settled around a lake, with mountains as a backdrop, Big Bear is an exciting getaway for an array of activities. Skiing in the winter, boating and hiking in the summer, Big Bear is a host to a variety of year round activities.

Los Angeles dwellers seek refuge in Big Bear for a peaceful escape from the bustle of the city. If you are planning a trip to Southern California, you may want to include a detour to Big Bear to see how the locals unwind.

Big Bear is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, and is equally appealing to the non-athletic types. A gentle stroll around the lake, or a challenging hike in the mountains are both a delight. Kid friendly and pet friendly, Big Bear is a great destination for a family trip or a romantic getaway.

There are plenty of delicious restaurants to explore, and to fuel up for your next adventure whether it is poking around the quaint shops in town, or heading to the mountains for an afternoon of skiing or hiking. Homemade fudge and ice cream are local favorites, and there are several shops who offer these decadent treats. Be sure to save room for dessert!
