Location Big Bear Lake
Directions Take the 10 Fwy east. Exit the 10 at the 30 Fwy (Mountain Resorts exit, near Redlands) and go 3 miles to the 330, take it northeast bound. At Running Springs, the 330 ends and you join the 18 to Big Bear. Pass through the community of Arrowbear, past Snow Valley and the Arctic Circle, to the dam at Big Bear Lake. At the dam, turn right and cross the dam itself. After passing Boulder and Metcalf Bays on your left, you'll pass the Town Hall on the right. About 2/10 mile further, make a right turn onto Tulip Lane (opposite a billboard for Oak Knoll Lodge). Take Tulip about 1/4 mile, and turn right on Mill Creek Road. Take Mill Creek Road until the pavement ends, about 1 mile, and veer right into Cedar Lake.
