Top Tips for Stand-Up Paddle Boarding in Big Bear Lake

Big Bear is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. One of the most popular ways to enjoy and explore this slice of Southern California paradise while stand-up paddle boarding – or “SUP,” for short.

With 22 miles of shoreline, Big Bear Lake is a fantastic spot to try this sport, because of the smooth, calm water, and hidden inlets and coves tucked away from passing boats.

Ready to try this popular sport this summer while staying in one of our amazing Big Bear Getaway vacation rentals? Check out our top tips before you hit the water:
