Private Hike in Big Bear with Lake Swimming Experience

Private Hike in Big Bear with Lake Swimming Experience

Overview

This is really a local's favorite hike in Big Bear that goes to one of the least known scenic lake viewpoints in Big Bear.
What is the best time to do after a sweaty summertime hike? Swim off a dock in the beautiful Big Bear Lake Harbor! The lake water is actually warmer to swim here than in the middle of the lake. One thing a lot of travelers don't know, if you rent a boat on Big Bear Lake (Very pricy) you can not swim off the rental boats. This is a great summertime experience after a hike on a hot day to get to cool off in alpine Big Bear Lake
If my guests would like to picnic off the boat afterwards they can bring lunch, beer, drinks. I will bring an ice chest for them to put their lunch in while we are hiking. I will even walk to a nearby fantastic restaurant in the village (As a foodie, I know all the best restaurants in Big Bear) & pickup to-go lunches for my hikers to enjoy on the boat after the hike if requested (For this service, hikers must Venmo me to pay for their meals)

This is our first Summer Vacation in Big Bear so we (Family of 5 and a puppy) are searching for someone that can take us around on a family friendly trail. We had such a great time hiking and chilling at the lake with Amber. I highly recommended Amber. She’s so knowledgeable for the area and has great personality. You won’t be disappointed. Thank you again Amber for our Fun Summer Trip in Big Bear :)

It was our first hiking experience in Big Bear and Amber made it a wonderful experience for our family. There were 9 of us, with children ages from 9-17, and we have never hiked before. Amber took us to a beautiful location where we can explore the area and had a beautiful view of the lake. It was a very gentle hike with lots of trees and shades. Hanging out on the boat in the harbor was also fun. Would totally recommend this experience to first timer hikers visiting Big Bear.

Amber knows her stuff! She’s super friendly and took us away from the more traveled areas which was awesome. She was well prepared and as an extra bonus she has the cutest dog ever who accompanied us on the hike and made it that much more special.
