Big Bear Lake Vacation Guide
Outdoor enthusiast will love Big Bear Lake in any season. What started as an irrigation project became the worlds' largest man-made lake of its time in the late 19th century.
The mountain communities built up around tourism fought for and won a battle for control of the lake. This hard fought battle allowed locals to stabilize lake levels guaranteeing consistent recreational and wildlife usage.
The lake is bordered by the cities of Fawnskin and Big Bear City. The area was originally settled by Serrano Indians and became popular with bear hunters. Later, Big Bear became a gold prospecting town.
Although you can still see bears in Big bear, today the area is known for skiing, mountain biking, hiking, horseback riding, boating, and fishing.
In the summer the Lake is filled with people in small boats. There's water skiing, jet skiing, sailing, wakeboarding, kayaking and canoeing.
It's time to venture off the Lake in winter and spring and hit the slopes. There is a bevy of snow filled activities during the winter months. Skiing, snowboarding, sledding are all apart of the winter land merriment.
During October, Big Bear City throws a big Oktoberfest celebration. During July 4th weekend you can attend Old Miner's Days. In December, you can celebrate Christmas in the village.

Who would have thought I'd be shoveling about three feet of snow off our steps and deck in Southern California!?! Actually, it's not so strange, Big Bear lake is about 7000 feet above sea level and this has been a great year for snow and great skiing as we could see yesterday at Snow Summit.&…
