Overview

Bluff Lake is a hidden Big Bear secret. It's one of the most gorgeous areas in Big Bear Lake. So many people who are Big Bear locals don't even know it's here, hidden away three miles up a remote dirt road! Traveling to this hidden wilderness lake with a local tour guide is a great way to see some of Big Bear Lake's most secret beautiful hiking areas. I will pick up your group in my Jeep and drive your group up the forest road, telling you about the plants we see along the way and the interesting history of the Big Bear Valley. Once we reach the Bluff Lake Reserve we will go for one of the most scenic hikes in Big Bear Lake. This hike is stroller-friendly for those who wish to bring a stroller for young children.

Meeting and Pickup

Meeting point

Guests will meet me at the junction of Mill Creek Road and Tulip Lane, on the south side of Big Bear Lake. There is room to park your car there on the dirt shoulder of the road. I will drive us up the dirt road through the pine forest in my SUV to where the hike begins.

Itinerary

1. Bluff Lake Reserve

Bluff Lake is a hidden Big Bear secret. Some locals who have lived in Big Bear for 15 years don't even know it's here! It is by far the most gorgeous place in Big Bear to spend a morning in nature.

Duration: 30 mins

2. Champion Lodgepole Pine

A morning at Bluff Lake is the best way to spend a day in Big Bear no matter what season it is! Our tour starts with a drive up to Bluff Lake Reserve in my SUV. Spring through fall I lead hikers on tours all over Bluff Lake, the upper portion of Castle Rock and Skyline Trail. The easy version of this hike is about a two-mile hike over the mostly flat ground, not much altitude gain. This is a great hike for kids. We can even stop on the hike and I’ll teach kids a bit about our local butterflies and instruct them on the best technic to photograph butterflies. We will hike over to our Champion Lodgepole Pine; Which is the oldest and largest tree in our national forest. If you want to do the moderate hike to upper Castle Rock (Castle Rock is the most popular trail in the Big Bear Valley), this hike is available the same pricing. Us locals prefer to hike a less traveled trail starting from the top near Bluff Lake to Castle Rock. It's prettier and not a crowded hike. This hike has a lot more altitude gain and is about 4 miles round trip.

Duration: 30 mins
