Review:
It’s hard to believe that the tranquil atmosphere of Big Bear Lake is only about 100 miles from the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles, but there it is, a paradise awaiting anyone who needs to escape the big city. This lake, located in the San Bernardino National Forest, is surrounded by tall mountain peaks and the green canopies of trees, with 22 miles of gorgeous shoreline. Boaters on Big Bear Lake can try their luck at catching rainbow trout, large and smallmouth bass, bluegill, and many more types of fish, or take a dip in the refreshingly cool waters.
