Hi

There are many outdoor activities at Big Bear Lake like fishing (trout, bluegill, crappie, catfish and large mouth bass) or water skiing as well as boating.
I wouldnt recommend swimming since the Water is really cold !!!
The Lake is patrolled by Lake Patrol so it is safe to join these activities with your kids as well.
Local marinas rent various sport and boats, and para sailing is available.
Big Bear MWD provides public launches on the east end and west end of North Shore.
@ North Shore they also have the Serrano Campground.

Places to go see would be the Big Bear Dam,Captain John's Marina,the Solar Observatory and the Discovery Center as well as the Gold Course and Trout Pond.
Places interesting for Kids would be the Alpine amusement park located at South Shore as well as the Big Bear Zoo.
For shopping there is the Big Bear Lake Interlaken shopping center that consists of several chain stores and market

Also available
