Things to do near Big Bear Lake

When the sun is out, the lake becomes the heartbeat of the valley. As Southern California’s largest recreation lake, Big Bear is a summer playground for fishing, boating, paddleboarding, and kayaking. Anglers cast for trout in the crisp mountain waters, while families enjoy days on the shore soaking up the high-altitude sunshine. Don’t miss stopping at Big Bear Marina for boat rentals or The Pines Lakefront for family-friendly lakeside dining. For a sweet treat, grab ice cream at Grizzly’s Café & Ice Cream or a morning pastry at Bean Sprouts Café.

Winter transforms the region into a snow-dusted wonderland. Our ski cabins put you steps from the slopes at Bear Mountain and Snow Summit, where skiers and snowboarders of all levels can carve fresh tracks. Off the slopes, miles of trails invite cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. And when it’s time to thaw out, there’s nothing better than sipping hot cocoa by the fire back at your cabin. Families can also explore Big Bear Snow Play for tubing and sledding without the hassle of ski lifts.

Despite its small-town feel, Big Bear Lake offers everything you’ll want for a mountain vacation. The village is lined with cozy cafés like Grizzly Manor Café, unique boutiques, and seasonal festivals that keep the town buzzing year-round. Kids will enjoy a visit to Big Bear Alpine Zoo, while parents can pick up local crafts at Art Works Gallery. Stop by the farmers market to gather fresh produce, then cook up a homemade meal in your fully equipped rental kitchen.
