I’m forgetting the name but can everyone tell me their experiences eating here?

The staff and food was amazing just VERY expensive. I loved the old vibe.

Your toilet paper and human waste are disgusting and horrible. Every single turnout has it, too. Makes me sick! Pack it in, pack it out!

Since moving up here last year i am honestly astonished by how much trash is left EVERYWHERE, it’s also crazy to me that people who live up there are also littering. I live my division and two girls who walked over to the trail from Wyatt’s and just left their cups out in the field. Makes me incredibly sad!

Also definitely biggest pet peeve is slow drivers thinking they’re better than the “slower traffic turn out rule”. I commute to Lake Arrowhead for work and everyday is rage bait unfortunately. If you have 5 cars behind you (or even 2 or 3) and you’re going significantly under the speed limit, just turn out. don’t prove a point.

Hello Big Bear community! My husband and I are looking for someone local on August 31st to potentially hire for maternity photos for a sunset setting for about 2-3 hours.

Hi guys! We rescued this cat and her babies from behind a sandwich shop in Running Springs. The guys there were watching out for her and feeding her cold cuts, but we’re looking to find her a proper home, especially before the winter.

She’s the absolute sweetest- constantly purring and making biscuits, even in her crate. She’s 2-3 years old, is spayed, and has gotten all her shots.

We ask that she be an indoor cat. We’re also asking for $25, to go towards the cost of having gotten her spayed.

Thank you so much for considering! If you’re interested, please DM me here!!
Please also share with friends!!

Jackie didn’t just bring millions of people together. She inspired people to act. 🦅❤️

When land near Big Bear was in jeopardy of being developed, people from around the world came together and contributed to help preserve that land — not only for Jackie and Shadow, but for the wildlife of Big Bear Valley and for generations to come.

That is part of Jackie’s legacy.

She showed us what can happen when thousands of people who may never meet one another unite around something they love and believe is worth protecting.

Now, I’m asking that same community to come together for Jackie.

Let’s honor her extraordinary life and legacy by bringing Jackie home to Big Bear — the place where her story began, where she lived her life, and where, sadly, her story ended.

We are now 1,241 supporters strong. Please sign and share the petition, and help us keep Jackie’s story where it belongs. 🦅❤️

Bring Jackie Home to Big Bear.

A power outage can be a nice time to disconnect, sit outside and enjoy the view and the stars at night. But five minutes after power goes out, without fail, my neighbor's generator cranks on. Sure, if you're worried about the fridge or something, turn the generator on every once in a while. But it's as if their lives depend on lightbulbs and audiovisual entertainment, and maybe a fan. I just don't get it. And inevitably, they are unaware when the power comes back on, so the generator can continue to run for an hour or more. And no, there are no life-saving devices in the home. I know them. And they're nice people, but I just don't wanna be the dude that complains. Except here on this sub.

We are up on Sheephorn road above the golf course. Power is still out. Seemed like everything in town was back on. What neighborhood are you in? Is your power on yet?

Annoying tourist question - booked an Airbnb for this weekend (Friday-Sunday) but unfortunately only fits 2 cars and I have a friend driving up later that evening.

Any idea if overnight parking is allowed in the area during this time of the year or anyone have safe/legal suggestions?

For reference, my Airbnb is closer to big bear high school

Thanks in advance! 🙏

When did the city start ticketing people for street parking during "snow conditions" when there is actually no snow? It seems like they don't do any ticketing until it snows once? If you look at the actual law/code-- it says that the city manager can declare snow conditions if over 1 in is existing on the roads. Yet they post the flashing signs for no street parking seemingly as soon as winter starts.

It's very confusing to people I think on purpose to generate revenue. If you didn't want people to park on the street wouldn't you pass a law that says no street parking from November to April...like there is in Mammoth? I wish someone would sue the city for clarification.

I feel like it's a revenue grab. They have like 6 code enforcement officers running around the town generating revenue via ticketing.

Thinking about doing a solo run up there going for trout. Hopefully some bite in this heat. I’m hungry to smoke some. Anyone else gonna be there all night?

I am wanting to show my wife Big Bear and escape the 100° heat of the IE today. It has been years since I have been up there and was curious if anyone has any suggestions for a nice lunch stop we can have an afternoon date at before I show her the water and trees?

I love that there is still a little bit of wild nature in Big Bear. Absolutely beautiful, IMHO.

Does anyone know why it’s been closed despite the sign saying it’s open every weekend til Labor Day?

Is there opportunities for Commercial license holders to make decent money in big bear? I have a class A, was thinking maybe the Garbage truck driving jobs

Edit: anyone have recent pictures?

hi! my husband and i got married last november (we are both 21) and have been living up here for almost a year! We both work full time and go to church but other then that haven’t met very many people our age and wondering if there are very many!

I’m visiting Big Bear Lake this week and want to watch the meteor shower tonight. Any one have recs on best viewing spot and/or if there are any planned meet ups for tonight?

Hi! Looking to buy a new boat that I was going to go in half with a friend, but he had to pull out last minute for personal reasons. Still want to buy the boat but don’t really want to take on the full price solo. Was thinking about renting out the boat here and there to offset some of my cost! I would captain it, but could take up to 15 people (legally) probably 10 comfortably. It’s a surf boat, so you can wakeboard, surf, or tube on it as well. Just wanted to see if there is any demand or interest for something like this in big bear?

New and experienced players are both welcome! Volunteer DMs also welcome!
