A Big Bear Getaway for the Guys

Posted: 04/03/25

Plan a getaway to Big Bear - for the boys! Whether it's your buddy's bachelor party, a fishing weekend or mud run in the mountains, Big Bear is the place for it.

Welcome to Big Bear, the land of outdoor recreation. Be it on the trails, on the water, on the golf course or under the stars, Big Bear is the place to bond with the bros for the weekend. We recommend:

1. Cast a Line

Ease into the weekend with a day of fishing. Big Bear Lake is a fresh-water fishing hub in the spring, with rainbow trout ready to bite at just about anything. Cast for catfish, large and smallmouth bass and even crawfish. Pay a visit to the experts at Big Bear Sporting Goods and pick their brains on fishing tactics.

2. Get Dirty

The spring season is mud season in Big Bear, making off-road adventures that much more thrilling! Spend the day exploring Big Bear's natural beauty, or even book a guided off-road excursion with Big Bear Off-Road Experience. Always check trail statuses before heading out and respect trail etiquette like 'Pack it In, Pack it Out'.

Missing the 4X4 vehicle? Big Bear boasts miles of hiking and biking trails. There's a route for everyone with beginner, intermediate and advance trail systems.

3. Tee Off

Book a tee time at Bear Mountain Golf Course for a round of 9-hole in the calm scenery of Moonridge. After your game, enjoy an ice-cold brew and juicy burger in the Clubhouse.

4. Zip, Zip Away

Take a zip on the wild side with Action Zipline, a 9-line zipline course through the trees with a wobbly suspension bridge to rattle your nerves. Transportation is included from the check-in office.

5. Eat, Drink & Be Happy!

Recap the day's adventures over a cold beer and grub at one of Big Bear's local eateries. We're boasting everything from BBQ goodness, to Mexican faves, juicy burgers, pub grub and more.
