Boating
Big Bear Lake was made for boating. Well, actually, it was made to provide a reservoir of water or nearby agriculture, but it amounts to the same thing: a perfect place to sail, motor and splash. Southern California’s largest man made lake is seven miles long, 75 feet deep so it’s a great place to push the throttle or hoist the sail.
Launch your own boat from one of the many public launch ramps. There are facilities on both north and south shore.
