Spring, Summer and Fall Activities for Guests of Big Bear Cabin Rentals
The warm weather months are easy to love and easy to become lost in with all that Big Bear has to offer. Experiencing the vast outdoor offerings as well as special events and festivals will surely fill the days when you rent Big Bear cabins.
Some of the world's best mountain biking trails can be found here, including both challenging paths and those fit for beginners in search of a little exercise and a stunning view. Take the Sky Chair to the top of Big Bear for an adventurous ride down or stick to the North Shore Bike path, a smoother journey.
Ascending via Sky Chair is also a good way to begin a hike, and will offer up views of Big Bear Lake and the lush scenery of the National Forest, which can be entered for free. Horseback riding through the forest is also a popular pastime, and reveals the landscape and panoramic views through hourly, half-day, full-day or overnight rides. Newcomers might be interested in taking a guided tour of the region; many are available and can be tailored to fit any schedule or set of interests. Whether by boat, foot, saddle or carriage, becoming intimately acquainted with Big Bear is an ever-present possibility.
Big Bear Lake will take care of visitors in search of fun and relaxation out on the water as well. The ocean isn't the only place to boat, jet ski, kayak or wake board; just take a look at the 23 miles of shoreline, expansive surface and the many marinas providing all the rental services and instructions that leisure-seekers might need - don't forget to purchase a private boat license if motoring around the lake is in the cards. There are many Big Bear cabins for rent in close proximity to the lake so you won't have to go far to enjoy the water.
Moonridge Animal Park as well as Baldwin Lakes Stables and Petting Zoo give a glimpse of indigenous wildlife like bison, wolves, eagles and bears. Athletes can find fun and games on the tennis courts or golf courses (there are two to choose from) and Big Bear Historical Museum, open May through October, adds a little brain power to the holiday mix.
As for special events, the spring, summer and fall are filled with celebrations. Springfest and Brewfest in March, Birdwalks, the Spring Air Fair in May, June's Jazz Festival, even an International Film Festival held each September make Big Bear a noteworthy attraction in terms of culture as well as natural beauty.
