While there are seasons when tourist crowds dwindle in Big Bear, there are no times throughout the year that do not offer endless opportunities for fun and beauty. The fall is a time in which the crowds of summer have dissipated, but great weather and a lively community still afford many great experiences. The following are the top five Big Bear activities for the perfect fall trip.
Check out the Beach
There are some fine beaches along the Big Bear Lake coast that offer perfect spots for fun in the sun during the fall. The weather is still nice, and you can expect much smaller crowds than you would find during the summer at one of these beaches. The East Boat Ramp Beach is a great option on the east side of the lake, as it provides a wide area of fine sand along with amenities like public restrooms and more.

Catch Some Fish
The fall presents some of the last opportunities to throw a line out from the shore and catch some fish before the lake freezes over. With the water temperature becoming colder every day, these are the perfect conditions for catching a whole bunch of trout, which the lake is famous for. Enjoy this within the gorgeous weather of Big Bear’s fall season.
Take in the Fall Colors
Big Bear is the place to go in Southern California if you are looking for the vibrant and classic colors of fall. You will be met by the amazing sights of changing leaves every time you venture outside, but there are a few opportunities that allow you to see this change from an incredible perspective. Take the scenic sky chair to get to Snow Summit where you can see the entire area or take a tour on the Miss Liberty Tour Boat to see these colors all around you.
Big Bear Oktoberfest
Big Bear Oktoberfest is a big deal. So much so that it spans every weekend from September 8th through the end of October at the Big Bear Convention Center. Once you have been to one Big Bear Oktoberfest celebration, all others will likely fall short. Of course, you will be met with all of the delicious German beer and food that you can handle, but there is also great live music, dancing, and other performances.
Go for a Hike
These are the last opportunities to trek this beautiful wilderness before you must break out the snowshoes, so you should take advantage of the great sights and weather with a hike! There are so many amazing hikes throughout the area, meaning there is something for everyone, whether you are looking for a challenging jaunt or a casual stroll.
