Just two years ago, Big Bear Lake dropped to its lowest level due to years of drought. Now, it has the highest levels in more than a decade, thanks to the back-to-back heavy winter storms.
Big Bear Lake is at its highest level in more than a decade due to back-to-back heavy storms this winter.A big silver lining to the heavy winter rains in our local mountain communities is that the lakes are full or near-full.Scott credits back-to-back heavy winter precipitation, which helped increase the lake's water levels by more than 14 feet since December 2022 - the highest it has been in 12 years.
Lower in elevation, Lake Arrowhead is also experiencing high levels. Recently, waves from Lake Arrowhead were seen spilling onto the pedestrian walkway along the Village store fronts. The summer season is just about to get underway. The Memorial Day holiday is usually the jumping off point into summer on the lake.
While Big Bear Lake is open for public recreation, Lake Arrowhead is a private lake for members of the Arrowhead Lake Association.
