Lake Arrowhead Recommendations

Recommended Posts

So... we were going to Big Bear, and but my wife has expressed a preference for Lake Arrowhead.

Any recommendations for an easy 50 mile trail ride in that area? I'm looking for good and easy jeep trail level stuff (but no or very little pavement). I'll be alone and just looking for very easy dirt touring.

I plan on breaking out my "California trail maps", but if anyone has any great recommendations, I'd love a GPS track?

(Obviously Big Bear isn't that far, and so maybe I'll truck the bike over there for a ride too, but is there stuff right around Lake Arrowhead?)

Yes, there is plenty of riding from Lake Arrowhead. Go west to Silverwood Lake area. Go east to Big Bear (no need to truck up there). Most of the trails are fairly well marked, including difficulty ratings, east, moderate, expert. US Forest Service will have maps or you can pull it up on-line. II always download the forest service map in PDF to my phone for areas I ride. I'd send you GPX files if I had them for that area but I've never had the need to use GPS up there. Just find a trailhead and go explore. California Trails maps will have everything.

Thanks Oracle. Good idea to check the Forest Service maps

Looks like there is this little nest of roads/trails  North of the lake. Probably about 3-5 miles of pavement to get there from the South side of the lake. 😉
