Big Bear Lake

Big Bear Lake looms high above Lake Arrowhead, about an hour up the hill from the Lake Arrowhead area. Big Bear boasts an active tourist trade and is renowned for downhill skiing facilities. The lake itself is large and picturesque, with a wide variety of water sports available.

Big Bear is out of the Lake Arrowhead marketing area, but many people confuse both locations. There are several qualified and dedicated real estate agents available to help prospective homeowners; please email Theresa to be introduced to one of them.
