EXPLORE California
![Best Things to Do in Big Bear Lake, California: [Save this reel for your next visit!] Big Bear is a popular destination for skiing and snowboarding in the winter, but there’s also plenty more to do here year-round! Here’s a quick guide for some of the best things to do in BB: HIKING
There’s no shortage of hiking options around Big Bear Lake! Some of the most popular trails are:
- Castle Rock Trail (pictured)
- Pine Knot Trail
- Woodland Trail
- Cougar Crest Trail BIKE ALONG ALPINE PEDAL PATH
Rent bikes and spend the afternoon peddling along the lake on the Alpine Pedal Path! The trail is paved and stretches for 3 miles, and also passes by the Big Bear Solar Observatory and the Big Bear Discovery Center. RIDE DOWN THE ALPINE SLIDE - @alpineslidebigbear
Big Bear’s Alpine Slide at Magic Mountain is a cross between an outdoor slide and a rollercoaster! Riders take a ski lift to the top and get to control the speed going down, and a single ride only costs $9.
There’s also a variety of other attractions here, including the Soaring Eagle (which is similar to zip lining except you’re sitting in a chair), and the Mine Shaft Coaster, which more closely resembles a rollercoaster. HAVE A PICNIC AT BOULDER BAY PARK
Boulder Bay Park is well-maintained and has beautiful views of the mountains right along the lake. Spend an afternoon here having a picnic, or get out on the water for boating, kayaking or canoeing.
