With clear blue skies and crisp mountain air, summer in Big Bear is the top choice for a SoCal mountain lake escape. Cool forest trails and a seven-mile lake brimming with activity create the ideal setting for your summer alpine playground. From June through August, average daytime temperatures are around 78 degrees and drop down to about 50 degrees at night.
Spend a day cruising on the lake on a classic pontoon boat or experience the thrill of water sports with wakeboarding or waterski lessons. Big Bear's six marinas offer every kind of water toy rental you can imagine. From kayaks and canoes to pedal boats and paddleboards, your summer just keeps getting better. For a pure adrenaline rush, grab some friends to hit the water on a couple of jet-skis.
For a more relaxing lake experience, hop aboard any of our tour boats for a narrated 90-minute cruise on Big Bear Lake. Learn about the history of Big Bear Valley, see the beautiful mountain homes lining the lakefront and hear about the celebrities that have made Big Bear their second home.
