Summer

There is nothing like summer in Big Bear. The days are warm and the nights are cool, and there is just so much to do outdoors from boating to hiking, mountain bike riding to laying out on the decks of Bear Haven. Here is our list of things we have done and enjoyed plus other places you might want to try out

On The Lake

There are several places to rent everything from a canoe to a luxury pontoon boat.

Big Bear Marina

Holloways’ Marina

They offer the greatest variety of water going vessels on the lake, everything from kayak’s to full fishing boats. They offer fishing tours and the one and only Pirate boat cruise of Big Bear Lake.

Jet Skiing

Jet skiing

At least once a year we go jet skiing out on the lake. There is nothing like flying across the water at over 40 mph. The wind and water spraying into your face and your loved one holding on to you tight. My son and I go racing around and chasing each other from end to end. Just be sure to obey all laws and signs as Big Bear Lake patrol is always on it (don’t ask how I know)

Fishing

Big Bear Fishing

They provide 3 hour fishing trips on beautiful Big Bear Lake. Trips are on our pontoon boat where you fish for Rainbow Trout, or choose to fish on our tournament style bass boat and cast for large and small mouth bass.

Both boats loaded with the latest fishing gear, fish finders, live well, trolling motor, and more. We have friendly guides who will help as little or as much as you would like. Drinks and snacks included.
