Big Bear Lake is Southern California's year round, premier vacation destination. And for good reason. With over 300 days of glorious sunshine a year, a pristine lake and fresh alpine air, it's a wonderful environment to play in. Practically every sport or recreation you could imagine is available here.

Enjoy world-class ski resorts, all kinds of boating and lake activities, and abundant hiking and biking trails. What's more, we're famous for special seasonal events like our festive Octoberfest that draw people to Big Bear year after year. We'd love to show you all the ways you can enjoy yourself up here.
