The 7 Best Nature & Parks in Lake Arrowhead, California (CA)

July 13, 2021 Brandee Mangan

Perfectly located in the San Bernadino National Forest, Lake Arrowhead, known as “The Alps of Southern California,” offers many recreational activities every season of the year. Located nearby you’ll find all things skiing: lessons, rentals and a wide range of slopes greet you at Snow Valley, Snow Summit and Mountain High. At the community of Blue Jay at Lake Arrowhead, try out the popular Ice Castle ice skating rink. If it’s summer, go for a hike along any of the miles of trails surrounding the lake or take a dip in the lake itself. Take a tour on the Lake Arrowhead Queen Paddleboat or rent a bicycle to go mountain biking. The community also boasts a private yacht club, 18-hole golf course at the Lake Arrowhead Country Club and a four-screen movie theater.

Beautiful 1 mile loop through a scenic arboretum. There is great information on the types of trees and animals in the area and how the region has been impacted over the years by wild flowers and human development in the area. This was a really nice free area and I'm glad we stopped by.

We came here with hubby, and our 2 boys (3.5yo and 6yo). First time here and was pleasantly surprised. We spent 6 hours here and thoroughly enjoyed the grounds. We did ziplining (for kids), rollerskating, archery, rock climbing, shooting, lots of exploring the grounds and plenty of photo-op opportunities for pictures. Lunch was also delicious and was a notch above theme park quality food. We ended the evening with the Spooky halloween hike. It was short and sweet. If staff are listening, we feel that there is still lots of room for improvements. Especially the merchandise selling piece. We were looking around to see if we can purchase a bow and arrow for my 3.5 yo. Definitely take your family here and make some new memories. We will be back for sure!
