Big Bear Lake at a Glance
Boasting more than 300 days of sunshine each year, Big Bear Lake is a popular
mountain destination for visitors to California.
The lake reveals a wealth of recreational activities, including fishing, boating,
picnicking and hiking, all at an elevation of over 7,000 feet. A major draw in
the winter is the Big
Bear Mountain Resort, which combines two ski hills, accommodations and restaurants
catering to outdoor enthusiasts. For summertime activities, visit the San
Bernardino National Forest, which surrounds the lake and features trails and
a discovery center. Many families enjoy spending time at the Magic
Mountain Recreation Area, which provides year round entertainment, from go-karting
to bobsledding. To learn about the local history, the Big
Bear Museum is open to teach people about the gold rush of the 1800s. Another
look at the town's golden history is found at the annual Old
Miner's Days, which coincides with the annual Fourth of July festivities.
