Is boating allowed?

Paddle boats, kayaks and canoes are allowed, but no motorized boats are permitted on the lake. Since this is more of a residential area and the lake is very quiet, the community prefers to restrict boating to non motorized only. The upside is that it is a lot easier to catch fish here.

Is there a boat launch?

No, due to the fact that only non-motorized boats are allowed on the lake. You can however launch from most places on the shore.

Is camping allowed?

Yes, there are numerous campsites around the lake, and they are all very well maintained. This is a very family-oriented area and you'll find plenty of places to camp to enjoy the weekend. The facilities are pretty bare minimum, but overall, it's a nice place to camp. You'll find five different spots around the lake, including:

Green Valley Lake Campground

Crab Flat Campground

Tent Peg Group Site Campground

North Shore - Lake Arrowhead

Dogwood Campground

Is fishing allowed?

Yes, fishing is allowed here and you can actually do very well. The lake is well stocked and because it is so quiet, it is much easier to catch fish. You'll easily be able to get your limit in a few hours.

What kind of fish can you expect to catch here?

The usual round up of crappie, bluegill, a few catfish and if you're lucky some great bass and trout.

Are there any regulations?

Beyond the non-motorized boat rule, normal fishing restrictions apply. You must have a valid California fishing license with you before fishing on the lake. Boats however can be operated without worrying about licenses and registration. If you don't have your own boat, you can rent one at the lake.

About the Lake:

This is a very family oriented lake, located right in the heart of a small community of about 800 people. It is right next to Big Bear lake, but you won't find any of the noise or rowdiness here. If you like to party while you boat, this is not the place to do it, but if you want to teach the kids about fishing, have some fun camping over the weekend, or enjoy a quiet afternoon, this is the ideal spot. We found everything to be very well maintained, the water was clean and the fishing was above par.

It may not be the most well known lake in the area, or the most trafficked, but this is definitely one of our favorites in the Southern California area. One of the area's best kept secrets, and let's hope that it stays that way.

What else can I do here?

In addition to camping, fishing and boating, this lake is located right next to a wilderness area, so there are plenty of opportunities for outdoor fun. Whether you enjoy hiking, mountain biking or rock climbing, you'll be able to do them all right here.
