Big Bear Lake is an attractive locale in the middle of the San Bernardino National Forest, and Paddles and Pedals provides the tools to make the most of the stunning location. You can rent a kayak or standup paddleboard to traverse its glassy surface. Once you're out on the water, find the perfect spot to view birds and wildlife against a backdrop of snowcapped mountains and tall pines. If you prefer to explore on land, hop on a bike to wander the trails that crisscross the park or, in the winter, rent a pair of snowshoes to follow a tour guide to the most scenic lookouts in Big Bear Valley.
