| Big Bear lake: Location |
| 02.07.05 (3:50 am) [edit] |
The City of Big Bear Lake nestles within an elevated mountain basin formed by the San Bernardino Mountains, with elevations of approximately 7,500 feet (on an average) above mean sea level. And because of its fabulous geographical advantage, it has become one of the most popular vacation places in America today. The weather at The Big Bear Lake is truly exceptional. And I’m not the only one who thinks so either! The Big Bear Lake Solar Observatory (BBSO)is located in Big Bear Lake, California; and operated by the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT). The Big Bear Lake is a very special place when it comes to water management in the area, too. The Big Bear Lake Municipal Water District is an independent special district of the State of California, responsible for the overall management of Big Bear Lake.
Big Bear Lake has virtually all summer and winter sports. Downhill and cross-country skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, snow biking, snow scooting, hiking, back-country adventures, mountain biking, sailing, canoeing, kayaking, sailing, jet skiing, fishing, swimming, paddle boating, pontoon boating, sailing or power boating, wind-surfing, sail-boarding, waterskiing or jet skiing are just some of the many sports that Big Bear Lake offers.
One of the best new resorts in the Big Bear Lake is The Big Bear Frontier. Useful resource: Big Bear lake
The Big Bear Frontier is a beautiful resort, on the edge of the Big Bear Lake. It is also conveniently situated one block from Big Bear Lake's Village. The expansive resort stretches across from Big Bear Boulevard to the water’s edge. The resort offers a peaceful place to fish, right off their own beach. You can also moor your boat on the private docks, whenever the lake level permits. I was amazed to see the list of animals allowed-dogs and cats and mules and horses! What’s more, they allow you to keep birds for free! So if you want to go to Big Bear Lake, check out Big Bear Cabins . Happy holidays!

| Big Bear Lake: a brief History |
| 02.07.05 (3:48 am) [edit] |
Big Bear Lake is Southern California's premier recreational Lake. The Big Bear Lake has a fascinating geological history, which accounts for its marvelous topographical features. The City of Big Bear Lake is located in the Transverse Ranges physiographic province of southern California. This province is characterized by an east-west grain caused by compression at the "Big Bend" of the Southern San Andreas fault. The name originates from the result of structures within the block being transverse (east-west) to the main plate-boundary formation related to the San Andreas fault. The Transverse Range structural block is composed of sub-blocks consisting of the Santa Ynez, the San Gabriel, the Banning, the San Bernardino, and the Pinto Mountains sub-blocks.
The major faults of these sub-blocks are left-lateral and/or reverse faults. The San Bernardino Mountains have been uplifted quite recently in geologic time and appear to continue to shift today. As the range was uplifted, very rugged and steep topography developed along the perimeter of the old granitic terrain that once may have been part of the southeastern Mojave Desert. During uplift, deep narrow canyons began to work head-ward and downward into the elevated peneplained (plains shaped by erosion) uplands. The City of Big Bear Lake is located in the center of the San Bernardino Mountains, which are bounded on their west side by the San Andreas fault.
In the late Quaternary era in geological time, forces associated with plate motions at the boundary of the North American and Pacific plates, and subsequent crustal adjustments, have elevated the mountains to their present elevations of between 6,000 and 11,500 feet above mean sea level. Movement along these two tectonic plates is responsible for the earthquakes that occur in Southern California, with about 70 percent of this movement being accommodated by the San Andreas fault Zone. If you like natural beauty, peace and quiet, Big Bear Lake is the place to be.
