                                                Canoing and Kayaking on Big Bear Lake is my absolute favorite thing to do in the Summer. I took the girls to Fawnskin to paddle on the calmest waters of the lake last week.

                                                The bay near Fawkskin is called Grout Bay and is fed by Grout Creek. You can actually paddle right up to the bridge in downtown Fawkskin right now!

                                                So grab a Kayak, Canoe, or Paddleboard Rental and enjoy some relaxing time on Big Bear Lake!

                                                I have been mountain biking for 11 years in Big Bear. We ride in ALL CONDITIONS!
                                                I'm written Big Bear trail descriptions all over the internet.

                                                    This week we have a high school running team staying at the lodge. They were looking to do some night hiking and I told them I'd love to take them. We headed up fireroad 2n08 with a nice half moon providing additional light. We could see our shadows in the moonlight! I headed off into the forest on one of my favorite secret trails.
                                                    Everyone was scared of bears and ghosts. I told them that the most dangerous creature out here is probably rattlesnakes, and there aren't very many of those up at this altitude.
                                                    When I looked back it was great to see a procession of 35 people hiking along in the forest, enjoying themselves to the max!
                                                    We ended up at the top of Snow Forrest which is a ski resort behind the village that closed in the 1980s. There is a nice clearing and a view of the lake. I told them how Big Bear was discovered and named by settlers in California. It was a steep descent back to the village but a good time was had by all.
                                                    So grab some water, a flashlight w/ extra batteries and hit the trail after the sun goes down. Night hiking in Big Bear is safe and the temperatures are cool.

                                                Big Bear Lake is one of the best places Big Bear Real Estate owners can save on their electricity bill by installing residential solar panels.

                                                1)      Big Bear Lake is one of the sunniest places on earth. They even put a Solar Observatory here to study the Sun!

                                                2)      There is less atmosphere at higher elevations so more of the Sun’s radiation is available to the panels. (That’s also why you sunburn more easily up here!)

                                                3)      California has great rebate programs for Big Bear Real Estate homeowners that install.

                                                To get started, go to California’s website: GoSolarCalifornia!  http://www.gosolarcalifornia.org

                                                If you are searching for Real Estate in Big Bear Lake California, a green home, or a home with solar panels, Will Rahill’s team of Real Estate Professionals is ready to serve you!
