The Castle Rock trailhead is located 1.1 miles east of the Big Bear Dam on State Highway 18 or 3 miles west of the Big Bear Lake Village. There is limited parking 50 yards east of the trailhead in a turnout on the north side of the highway. The Adventure Pass is not required on the turnout.  There is a small sign marking the Castle Rock Trailhead across the highway. Although it's not a long hike, the elevation gain is 500 feet, making it a steep climb by any standards. From here its 0.5 of a mile of a steep trail then it levels out for another 0.5 of a mile of less steep trail. Castle Rock is a large 100 ft outcropping from immediately east of the saddle.  This trail offers spectacular views of the lake and an opportunity to see pines, white fir trees and cedars.

Nature

Boating, tubing, swimming, fishing and so much more! Big Bear Lake is incredible for every activity. Fishing is fun for the whole family and can be easily learned at any age. The best time to fish in Big Bear is just before sunup to mid-morning, early sundown until dark.  You must have a California fishing license (unless you are under the age of 16).   The most popular areas for shore fishing are the North Shore, from the dam to the West Boat Ramp.  There are several areas to park off of Highway 38.  If you choose Juniper Point, on the north shore just west of the East Boat Ramp, you will need an Adventure Pass for parking.  Additionally, Boulder Bay Park has a fishing dock and is a great place for families to play and fish from shore.
