Welcome! Discover Big Bear Lake, beautiful by nature.

It’s hard not to fall for Big Bear Lake. The awe-inspiring natural beauty lures you in. The genuine, independent spirit of the mom-and-pop shops instantly charms. And then there’s the fact that fun can truly be found at every turn—from the lake and the forest to the slopes and heart of The Village. Make our 22 miles of lake shoreline and the San Bernardino National Forest your all-season playground. Tap into our epic hiking and biking trails, award-winning ski resorts, and diversity of adventure outfitters. Learn about wildlife, get crafty, and browse one-of-a-kind boutiques. Savor the laid-back lake lifestyle and breathe in the fresh mountain air. Big Bear has such a refreshing small-town feel because the Valley is a community of approximately 12,000 full-time residents. Our economy relies on the three million visitors like you who travel here every year. There’s virtually no business in Big Bear Lake that isn’t impacted by tourism spending. We greatly appreciate you choosing to vacation in our mountain lake wonderland and invite you to join the effort to help protect and preserve our community’s resources. Throughout the magazine, you’ll find ways to #careforbigbear along with itinerary inspiration, helpful planning resources, local tips, and so much more.
