Big Bear Lake is a quaint mountain town located 100 miles northeast of Los Angeles tucked away in the mountains of the San Bernardino National Forest. Boasting 300 days of sunshine a year, it offers a wide variety of recreational activities depending on the season. Enjoy fishing, water sports, hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding and winter sports, like skiing and snowshoeing. There’s even a big alpine slide! Big Bear also has its own public zoo, a nine-hole golf course and great  shopping, restaurants and nightlife. In autumn, Big Bear is a beautiful destination for catching some fall color in and around Southern California.
