Big Bear Lake Paddling Guide
Big Bear Lake Canoe / Kayak
/ Paddleboard Trip Guide
The best detailed guide to paddling on Big Bear Lake
Paddling is allowed all over the
lake.
Daily or yearly lake permits may be required depending on boat size.
There are three great paddling spots on Big Bear Lake
Summer 2011 Update! - The lake is full. Its a great
year to paddle Big Bear Lake!
Grout Bay
has marshes and beaver dams to explore,
it is also next to a bald eagle preserve
where frequent sitings are noted.
The Grout Bay picnic area is a nice place to launch.
(Northwest side of the lake near town of Fawnskin)
Boulder Bay,
on the southwest side of the lake
next to highway 18 is the most picturesque spot on the lake and
has a large parking area where you can launch.
Large boulders jut out of the water in a small bay.
China Island
is a small island with oriental styled cottages
between Boulder Bay and the dam.
Paddle west from Boulder Bay
along the shore and you can't miss it.
It was built before the water rose after they built the damn.
Pine Knot Ave:
There is a nice launch spot between the Post office and the Marina.
You can park just a few feet from the water and unload.
Paddling along the short East and West from Pine Knot is fairly protected from the windy center of the lake.
