2021 Map of Big Bear Lake

About this map

Big Bear Lake serves as the focal point of this high-elevation landscape within the San Bernardino National Forest. The map details the developed northern shoreline, from the residential clusters at Boulder Bay to the coves and points like Kidd Cove and Gibralter Point. Moving south across the peaks of the San Bernardino Mtn, the terrain shifts to a network of creeks and remote flats. Small settlements and mountain communities such as Angelus Oaks, Seven Oaks, and Barton Flats are situated along the winding roads and canyon floors. The drainage of the Santa Ana River dominates the central valley, supported by numerous springs and small alpine lakes including Jenks Lake and Bluff Lake. An extensive trail system, including the Skyline Trl and Siberia Creek Trl, connects the various summits and meadows, illustrating the area's long-standing character as a recreational and wilderness retreat.
