Review:
Situated 99 miles west of Los Angeles, Big Bear Lake offers an almost endless list of adventure activities to tempt all outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers. Here the fun never stops regardless of the season – in summer you can go zip-lining or enjoy a myriad of water sports on the 7-mile lake, including jet-skiing, canoeing, kayaking, paddleboarding, wake-boarding, and parasailing.
Spring and fall are the best times for you to go hiking and biking around the miles and miles of trails or try your hand at fishing. In winter, Big Bear really comes to life, offering every kind of snow-related activity you can imagine, including skiing, snowboarding, tubing, sledding, and snowman building. Shopping and dining are great all year round.
