About Bluff Lake, California

Bluff Lake is known for many things, but one more than the others: It is famous for the diverse natural plant and wildlife that can be found within the boundaries of the Bluff Lake Reserve. Bluff Lake Reserve is open from the beginning of May until the beginning of November and provides for a very diverse plant and wildlife from season to season. Bluff Lake Reserve is dedicated to preserving the local mountain marsh and meadow ecosystem, as well as threatened plant species like the Bear Valley bluegrass and Big Bear checkerbloom. Remarkably, this iconic and beautiful site also served as a filming location for the famous movies The Parent Trap and Dr. Dolittle 2. As a “leave no trace” ecological reserve, visitors are highly encouraged to take everything they bring into the reserve back out with them upon leaving, so keep that in mind when planning your day here.
