Things to do in Big Bear Lake
Big Bear Lake is a mountain resort town on the south shore of its namesake lake, high in the San Bernardino Mountains at close to 7,000 feet. Bear Mountain and Snow Summit, operated together as Big Bear Mountain Resort, are the most popular ski areas within reach of Los Angeles, and the lake draws boaters, anglers and paddlers every summer. Tourism and vacation homes, many owned by Southern California families, drive the local economy, and the Village along the lakeshore holds most of the town’s restaurants and shops.
