Lake Arrowhead Travel Guide | California Travel Tips
California travel expert Veronica Hill shares her Lake Arrowhead Travel Guide in this episode of "California Travel Tips."
In this video, Veronica explains how to make the most of a Lake Arrowhead vacation, located just an hour east of Los Angeles.
We'll check out an Olympic ice skating rink, go on a paddlewheel cruise, and head out shopping in the Bavarian-style Lake Arrowhead Village.
Before Hollywood took over Lake Arrowhead in the 1920s, this mountain playground was home to the Serrano Indians, who found a bounty of wild game and fish along its streams. Today, it's an upscale escape with plenty to do for both couples and families.
If you want a Lake Arrowhead hotel that's close to the village, Lake Arrowhead Resort won't disappoint. It's the nicest Lake Arrowhead lodging on the mountain.
This amazing lodge was remodeled in 2007 to the tune of $18 million, complete with a state-of-the-art spa, gourmet restaurant Bin 189, pool, and private beach.
After you've rested, grab some of the resort's delicious homemade donuts, then head out to the lakeside Lake Arrowhead Village - just a 5-minute walk away.
There's always some festive going on here, and the shops are amazing too. What gal couldn't resist browsing through the Coach outlet or Harry & David?
There's a lakeside playground there for the kids, or you can head down to the dock for an hour-long tour aboard the Arrowhead Queen.
During your paddleboat cruise, you'll see native birds, majestic mountain peaks and perhaps a water-skier or two.
You'll also see some prime Lake Arrowhead real estate built by celebrities including Brian Wilson, Patrick Swayze and Herb Alpert - to name a few. These Lake Arrowhead luxury homes are simply amazing.
If you have time to spare, don't miss the Ice Castle International Training Center where Michelle Kwan trained to become an Olympic medalist. While the rink is clearly tailored to pros, it does offer recreational skating sessions several times a week for about $10.
With its tall pines, sparkling water and clean mountain air, Lake Arrowhead is a fantastic place to relax and revive.

The house right down the driveway at the Ice Rink was the house I grew up in
Yes, I agree. Crestline does have a few unsavory characters around town. But Lake Arrowhead is beautiful, especially in the fall, which is my favorite time to visit.
My wife and I have a vacation home about a mile from the marina, on the north-east side of the lake. It's so nice to be able to leave our home in Arcadia and arrive at our lake house in an hour and a half, just 70 miles away. I can drive up in the morning, spend the afternoon on my boat, and be home for dinner back in Arcadia. People living and working there are on lake-time, so don't expect speedy service. Just relax and enjoy it.
I guess it depends on what you like to do and how old you are. For kids, I think the Arrowhead Queen boat ride, village play park and ice skating rink is fun. The outlet stores are great for shopping, and the restaurant and spa at Lake Arrowhead Resort is great for kids. I especially like that the resort is pet friendly.
I Love BIN189 and Lake Arrowhead... My favorite place to visit for days and days.... Hopefully I will someday be a Full Timer.. Hope Hope HOPE !
I seem to find the doughnuts, don't I? Lake Arrowhead is absolutely beautiful. The resort and nearby village was not touched by the recent wildfires, so it's still as beautiful as ever. Hope you get a chance to visit someday!
Yes, it's so sad. Many folks have lost their homes, including a teacher at my daughter's school. My heart goes out to them.
When I was a kid my grandparents had a cabin up there I loved going there, especially on thanksgiving, I was really sad when they sold it. I went to the arrowhead resort a couple years ago, I loved that place, magnificent.
I agree! BIN189 is excellent. I haven't been there since the new chef took over, but it's certainly a lovely place. I'm looking forward to coming back this fall for Oktoberfest in the Village!
Yes, it was about 9 months ago.
We were just there, its beautiful!
sixth grade OSS...those were fun times.
Nice
@MegaDodgerboy Hope you have fun! Camping is great.
our house up there was literally about 4 doors down from the fire so my family is very surprised we are very lucky :)

I’m a bean!
Veronica - this looks like a great place to visit. Do all tourist attractions in California serve doughnuts? If so, I am going to have to watch my waistline.
@spencss1 Cool! Beautiful place to live.
my grandma use to live here and i remembered there was only two kinds of weather, sun and snow
@CaliforniaTravelTips no i live in lake arrowhead it takes an hour to get to big bear
Lake Arrowhead is really beautful with a German Alps feel. There are so many people it makes ya sick. Therefore Jackson Hole is for me!!!
