Things to Do in Big Bear Lake

In the winter, Big Bear Lake getaways are just the “lift” any skier needs. With SoCal’s only super-halfpipe and a huge amount of freestyle terrain, Bear Mountain has been popular with freestyle skiers and snowboarders—including Shaun White—for decades. No worries if you’re new to the scene though; there’s plenty of room for everyone on the area’s three slopes.

In the summer, get out on the lake! Grab a Big Bear Lake hotel near the marina and you won’t have to go far to hook up with fishing trips, water sports, jet skiing and more. Hook a spiny sculpin or shiny cisco; you can catch cutthroats here too, but we promise the fishing is anything but. Want more action? Go flyboarding! Zoom around the lake on one of these water jet packs and you’ll feel just like Iron Man.

Getting To & Around Big Bear Lake

Fly into Los Angeles International (LAX), then hop in one of Wotif’s car hire options and motor 180 km east. It’s really that easy! Once you’ve had enough Mother Nature—if that’s possible—look into our hotels in Los Angeles. Grab a profile pic on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and take in the nightlife on Sunset Boulevard, and your California holiday will be complete.

Booking a lakeside escape doesn’t have to be an “uphill” battle. Just check out Big Bear Lake accommodation on Wotif and find your best match. There ain’t no mountain high enough to keep you from this holiday.
