Why Lake Arrowhead
Beautiful Lake Arrowhead is a Private Lake to homeowners within Arrowhead Woods! If you purchase property in “The Woods”, as we call it, you automatically have “lake rights”, which qualifies you to be able to become a member of the Arrowhead Lake Association, where you and your personal guests will have access to all our pristine lake has to offer – swimming, boating, paddle boarding, kayaking, fishing, walking the lake trails, use of the private beach clubs and parks, etc.
Arrowhead has the magical Skypark at Santas Village and proximity to all the winter sports at Snow Valley in Running Springs. We are a small, exclusive community and very family friendly. We have concerts all summer long at “Centerstage” in the Lake Arrowhead Village as well as other fun events throughout the year. There’s always something fun going on in Arrowhead!
Some of the best restaurants on the mountain are in and around Lake Arrowhead, such as LouEddies pizza, Stone Creek Bistro, Puglia, Saddleback, Lake Arrowhead Sports Grill, Papagayo’s and, if you want to enjoy beautiful lake views while dining, Jetties and the Lakefront Tap Room.
Although Lake Arrowhead is private, if you are looking for a property that could also be used as a vacation rental, no problem! Your renters can enjoy being lakefront at the Lake Arrowhead Village, taking a ride around the lake on the Arrowhead Queen or enjoy the numerous hiking trails in our national forest, including the hot springs at Deep Creek. They will also be able to take day trips to Lake Gregory and Big Bear Lake – both public lakes – as well as easily access all snow activities in both Big Bear and Running Springs. And, for a small daily fee, your renters can enjoy the lake trails and limited access to the lake itself!
If you’re a golfer or tennis player, Lake Arrowhead is home to the private Lake Arrowhead Country Club that has several levels of membership available. Arrowhead is also home to the Lake Arrowhead Yacht Club and the Wildhaven Ranch Wildlife Sanctuary – an education and visitation center for endangered and indigenous wild animals.
For Arrowhead Woods property owners, the lake awaits. Own your own dock, where your boat awaits for a day of boating, water skiing, bar-b-queing, and just plain FUN hanging out on the dock, or take a midnight cruise (the lake is never closed) on a balmy evening when the moon is full, or an afternoon cruise across the lake for lunch or dinner…

Fishing
The fishing at Lake Arrowhead has never been better! ALA has been a careful steward to our fishery. Our lake is home to Large Mouth and Small Mouth Bass, Rainbow Trout, German Brown Trout, Catfish, Crappie and Bluegill.
Rainbow Trout are planted in the lake annually. Some of these are tagged. If you catch a fish with a tag, please call ALA and let them know the size and location of the catch. This information helps them in fish stocking efforts.
State fishing regulations do apply and state fishing licenses are required.
Golf & Tennis
Dedicated to the proposition that membership is a true privilege, Lake Arrowhead Country Club caters to an exclusive, relaxed country-club lifestyle in a picturesque alpine resort. Member-owned for some 40 years, The Club offers a distinctive combination of state-of-the-art amenities, renowned 18-hole championship golf course, world-class tennis facilities, and unsurpassed levels of member service.
Hiking and Trails
The forest is abundant with wonderful day hikes to choose from. Lower elevation trails (less than 5,000′) are best for fall/winter/and spring hikes. Upper elevation trails are best hiked in the summer months, unless you are ready and equipped for a snowshoeing adventure!
Please remember to wear clothing and footwear appropriate for the trail and weather. Don’t forget your sun hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses! Even on short day hikes it is recommended to carry a backpack with snacks, at least 2 liters of water, a pocket knife, flashlight, whistle, and a first aid kit. Remember to check the weather and leave an itinerary with someone you trust before you head out on the trail.
A wide variety of hiking trails are available. Contact the local Ranger Station to find a hike that suits your ability, or stop by and pick up one of the many trail guides or maps (some of these are also available electronically, below). The Ranger Station will tell you current trail conditions, fire restrictions and permit requirements. “Know Before You Go”
Mountain Biking
Mountain biking is a growing sport in the mountains. Riding is permitted on designated routes, which include the forest road and trail network, except for the Pacific Crest Trail, short nature trails, and any trail leading to, or inside designated Wilderness areas.
Challenging routes can be found for all skill levels but the more spectacular rides are best attempted by the experienced cyclist. Route information is available at each of the Ranger Stations.
