Mill Creek Road - You will be taken on a fantastic hike up to see some of the best views Big Bear has to offer. This is a very pretty easy hike through the pine forest. In my opinion, this is one of the prettiest hikes in the Big Bear Valley.

Mill Creek Road - You will be taken on a fantastic hike up to see some of the best views Big Bear has to offer. This is a very pretty easy hike through the pine forest. In my opinion, this is one of the prettiest hikes in the Big Bear Valley.
After we get sweaty on the 2-mile hike up to the lake viewpoint, I will give you directions to get to the dock, very close by, and we will go for a swim off the dock in the Harbour.
Feel free to bring lunch to enjoy on the boat. I will provide an ice chest in my car for you to stash your lunch or cold drinks in if you request it in advance.
We will spend about an hour swimming and relaxing at the boat.
This hike is a little hard on the first hill. We do gain about 300 feet elevation gain on the hike so you will more than likely be sweating. It’s a great workout before the relaxing part of our experience at the lake!

The locals really cherish this hike in Big Bear that leads to one of the hidden scenic viewpoints of the lake.
The ideal way to unwind after a vigorous summer hike is to take a dip from a dock at the lovely Big Bear Lake Harbor! Interestingly, the water here is warmer than in the middle of the lake for swimming. Here’s a tip that most tourists aren’t…

The ideal way to unwind after a vigorous summer hike is to take a dip from a dock at the lovely Big Bear Lake Harbor! Interestingly, the water here is warmer than in the middle of the lake for swimming. Here’s a tip that most tourists aren’t aware of - if you hire a boat at Big Bear Lake (it can be a bit expensive), you can’t swim off the rental boats. A refreshing swim in the alpine Big Bear Lake, is a great way to cool down after a hot day’s hike.
If my guests wish to have a post-hike picnic on the boat, they can bring their own lunch, beer, and drinks. I’ll carry an ice chest for storing their lunch while we’re hiking. If requested, I can even fetch to-go lunches from a great nearby restaurant in the village (as a food aficionado, I’m acquainted with all the top-notch eateries in Big Bear) for my hikers to relish on the boat after the climb. (Please note that hikers would need to Venmo me so I can pay for their meals).
- Kids under 13 years old they must wear a life jacket while on the dock or swimming per California law.
- You can also bring fishing gear if you wish to fish off of our dock.
