Reasons to visit Big Bear 

Big Bear is a mecca for outdoor sports and beautiful scenery. If you’re looking for your next thrill, try skiing, downhill mountain biking, or reaching speeds up to 45 mph on a zip line. If you’re looking for relaxation amid beautiful scenery, laze on the back deck of your lakefront vacation rental, fish, or take a stroll through nature. Vacation in Big Bear where countless outdoor adventures are just waiting for your exploration.

Snow Sports

Vacation in Big Bear for a variety of winter snow sports. Skiers and snowboarders will enjoy the terrain park at Bear Mountain, as well as slopes ranging from green beginner to double black diamond. Or hit the horizontal trails on a pair of snow shoes or cross country skis. At the end of the day, head back to your mountain chalet and warm up in the hot tub or curl up by the fireplace.

Water Sports

At 7 miles long, Big Bear Lake has plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the water. Swim, kayak, canoe, paddle board, or jet ski through the water. Grab some fishing rods and fish from the dock at Boulder Bay Park or head out on a boat for your fresh catch of the day. Life revolves around the lake in the warm months and there are plenty of activities to be a part of!

Scenery

Sweeping mountain views and pine forests surround the crystal-clear lake. Hiking trails provide jaw dropping views. Red, orange, and yellow hues bring fall to life, and white snow stands stark against a bright blue sky in winter. No matter the season, the unspoiled scenery surrounding Big Bear is a sight to behold. Our lakefront cabins or mountain chalets allow you to enjoy the scenery from the comfort of your vacation rental.
