This is Big Bear Valley
Big Bear Valley encompasses several small communities and neighborhoods at an elevation of 6,400 feet or higher in the San Bernardino Mountains of Southern California. Close to major metropolitan areas such as Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego, Big Bear is the place where Southern Californians go to get away from the hustle and bustle of big city life. Explore Big Bear’s neighborhoods to find the home that speaks to you—Baldwin Lake, Big Bear City, Big Bear Lake, Boulder Bay, Erwin Lake, Fawnskin, Lake William, Moonridge and Sugarloaf. See the wide variety of homes and styles to fit every taste and budget. This month, a look at the communities of Boulder Bay, Erwin Lake, Fawnskin, Lake William, Moonridge and Sugarloaf.
Boulder Bay
Erwin Lake and Lake William Considered part of the unincorporated town of Big Bear City, the communities of Erwin Lake and Lake William can be found nestled in the shadows of Sugarloaf Mountain and Onyx Summit in the east end of the Valley along Highway 38. Bedroom communities, these two neighborhoods consist primarily of full-time homes although many weekend homes can be found here, too. Erwin Lake is the location of The Ranch, a sports complex operated by the Big Bear Valley Recreation and Park District. Cyclists ride through the area on their way to the Onyx Summit climb. Lake William is the gateway to YMCA Camp Oakes, owned by the YMCA of Greater Long Beach. The camp is a popular location for stargazing opportunities and events such as the Big Bear Yoga Festival and RTMC Astronomy Expo.
Located between the Big Bear Dam and the Village shopping district, Boulder Bay is a city of Big Bear Lake neighborhood. It is named after the lakeside landmark that features prominent rocks and boulders in an inlet of Big Bear Lake. Boulder Bay Park is a popular tourist attraction where people can picnic, fish and kayak while taking in the unique scenery. Boulder Bay’s history includes such landmarks as Treasure Island, the damkeeper’s house, Boulder Bay Camp, Oak Knoll Lodge, Holloway’s Marina and the I.S. Ranch, a working cattle ranch. Homes in the area range from US Forest Service cabin leases, lakeside mansions and quaint log-style cabins.

Fawnskin Once an artist colony in the late 19th century through the early 1900s, Fawnskin is a small village on Grout Creek on the North Shore of Big Bear Lake with a full-time population of 300. There was an early stage stop in Fawnskin in the 1800s. Soon there were several lodges, camps and restaurants lining the road, which at the time was the main way into the Valley. Fawnskin’s trademark downtown landmark is the once-bustling Fawn Lodge, built in 1924 but closed since the 1970s. Other landmarks include the Pedersen Saw Mill and Fawn Park, with a memorial to those who lost their lives at the Twin Towers Sept. 11, 2001. The village is also home to the world’s shortest parade, the Fawnskin Doo Dah Parade.
