Fall into Adventure in Big Bear Lake
Escape to the mountains and experience the magic of Fall.
Big Bear Lake, where the fall season comes alive in dazzling colors, crisp mountain air, pumpkin spice aromas, and inviting seasonal fun.
Each fall season, Big Bear Lake transforms into a picturesque backdrop of sweeping mountains and a shimmering lake highlighted by changing shades of gold, crimson, and orange - it's nature's canvas at its finest.
Embrace the season with a leisurely stroll along scenic trails. Take in the breathtaking views of towering trees, the shining lake, and expansive San Bernardino Mountains. And don't forget the camera! You'll want to capture this unparalleled beauty.
Looking to appeal to your adventurous side? Take to the lake and witness the fall splendor from a unique perspective. Rent a kayak or paddleboard and explore the coves and inlets along the shore, or embark on a scenic boat, off-road, or zipline tour and admire nature's artwork in the great outdoors.
Big Bear Lake hosts a variety of events and activities designed to celebrate the season. Community events dive into art, music, food, and more and everyone is invited to enjoy. Explore The Village and seasonal shopping deals or simply relax by a roaring fireplace at one of our cozy accommodations.
So, pack your favorite sweater and immerse yourself in Big Bear Lake this fall season. Let the vibrant fall foliage and the charm of our mountain town create unforgettable moments that will warm your heart.
