Gliding across the lake's clear, dark blue waters in a kayak or canoe offers a unique opportunity to enjoy the area's stunning beauty. The towering pines lining the shoreline create a picturesque mountain backdrop that is simply breathtaking.

Paddling around Big Bear Lake is relatively easy, especially in the morning and evening hours when the winds tend to be calmer. In addition to kayaking and canoeing, the lake offers a host of other popular watersports, such as stand-up paddleboarding, which has been gaining traction in the area.

When you're not on the water, you can enjoy other lakeside activities like picnicking, camping, and fishing. The fishing season typically runs from early spring through early summer, with trout still biting well into the fall. Big Bear Lake is a true haven for kayak anglers, who can expect to reel in rainbow trout, largemouth bass, and smallmouth bass.
