Big Bear Lake

Big Bear Lake is a purely snow-fed reservoir, a clean and clear lake that draws a lot of recreational interest throughout the year. Resort town Big Bear Lake serves as a convenient springboard for water-based activity, close to assorted boat launches and marinas. Consequent to the water temperature and submerged obstacles around the shore, swimming is discouraged outside of designated areas. Pleasure boating and angling are permitted year-round

Rainbow Trout is the big fish in this particular reservoir, but Bluegill, largemouth Bass, and Pumpkinseed also lurk locally.
