Big Bear Lake

The terrain around Big Bear Lake is a pine-forested mountain basin in the San Bernardino Mountains, which has shaped both the town’s layout and its visitor economy. At roughly 2,060 metres above sea level, the city borders Big Bear Lake, a reservoir impounded on Bear Creek; boating, fishing and shoreline recreation set the pace in warmer months. Winter brings skiers and snowboarders to nearby Snow Summit and Bear Mountain. The lake is also home to Big Bear Solar Observatory, a research facility operated by the New Jersey Institute of Technology.
