Falltacular Big Bear Lake
For the true beleafers, this is the best time to visit Big
Bear. As the mountain air turns crisp and cool, golden hues emerge to
cast a warm glow over Big Bear Lake making it Southern California’s most
popular location to capture autumn’s beauty. The Falltacular is the
celebration of pumpkin spice everything, the glory of sweater weather and all
the ways you can enjoy this wonder-fall time of the year.
The amazing change in color can be witnessed from the land,
water or air in Big Bear Lake. Explore the beautiful trails and backroads
on foot, mountain bike or jeep; take a boat tour or rent your own and cruise
the lake, or soar above the trees by zip line or helicopter.
During the
Falltacular, every weekend features live music and events and activities. We’ve compiled all the ways to enjoy your favorite fall
activities, but don’t wait…the Falltacular is only available for a limited
time…so plan a weekend to take advantage of this gourd-ous season in Big Bear
Lake.
