Perfect stop off on your day drive up. It’s late Feb 2016 and there’s lake ice! Whaaaaat?!

Had a great time with the family on a snow day. We got in on time to get good parking spots and a place where the kids could go play in the snow and use their new sleds. They have picnic tables and restrooms as well. Overall great place for free! ;)

4.2 stars! A nice park with a small dock that you can walk out on to the small lake to take pictures. There are also benches if you’d like to picnic here. It’s nice and peaceful here, and there’s also well-maintaned grass and rocks. Good for families and just for picture-taking and fresh air intake!

First trip to Big Bear we stopped here. This is like something out of a family vacation movie. The grounds are manicured and very well kept. The ducks are entertaining. Just wish the water was clearer, it looked rather dark and murky. Would love to dive this lake is it was clearer.

This park was smaller than we imagined and surrounded by homes. But it was really nice. There were quite a few places to sit, picnic tables, boulders and such. There is also a little covered area, small paths and very green grass. There is a little dock you can walk down. There is also an area to get down to the water but it was closed off. People seemed to hop over it anyway. A nice place to have lunch and enjoy the view.

Tiny park outside of the main town that looks out over probably the most scenic view of Big Bear Lake. A picturesque tiny island crops out of the lake here made up of massive, smooth boulders. It is quite surreal. The park has some nicely manicured grassy areas and clean, updated public restrooms. There is a little dock you can walk out on too. Large, public parking lot too. Everything is here is pristine. Would certainly recommend stopping by for 20 minutes or so. It also seems like they have the space to hold an event like a birthday party. Given the view, I would not be surprised if someone had their outdoor wedding ceremony here to be honest.

We went to get a lake view and spend a hour relaxing. Serious beauty. A little too crowded for me. We found parking, but I imagine it could fill up. Saw kayaking, but didn’t seem easy acess to water. NOT A SWIMAREA. A lot of people looking for this, but lake is too low. Worth stopping, beauty-wise.

Beautiful place you have to stop at when you’re in Big Bear. They have a small parking lot and limited street parking. There’s a small beach that’s a little rocky but a great place to play on the beach or launch a kayak into the water. There’s a good size covered picnic area above the beach. Just a gorgeous spot. My wife and I used the location to take photos for our baby announcement photos.

Boulder Bay Park is located right off the road(very convenient) and there are plenty of parking spaces. The parking is free. There’s also a large public bathroom next to the parking area. We came here right after a snow storm so the park was covered in about 4 – 5 inches of snow. There was a sign that read«Stay Off Lake Ice, Up To $ 500 Fine.» We stayed off the ice of course and enjoyed some simple fun playing in the powdery snow. The scenic views and wide openness of the park provided a feeling of tranquility. Worth a short visit if you are nearby! Note: The park does not allow motorized boat launch, swimming, open fires, charcoal BBQ’s, camping and overnight parking.

Boulder Bay Park is great for family and kids, and it is a tourist spot! There is plenty of parking, and there are tons of benches and tables to sit at and have a picnic. A perfect place to take pictures, especially with the rock formations and the lake view. There is a path that leads to the lake, and you can take a close picture of the boulder bay and actually watch the ducks and such. Overall, a great scenery place with tons of trees: D

Beautiful! I come here every time I visit Big Bear. The only reason I knocked off a star is because of the parking… Seeing as it is a tourist spot you’d think they would have expanded the parking.

Great park in Big Bear to just walk around, feed the ducks, site see the man made boulders. The only thing that ruined it was the amount of water left in there. Because of the California Drought, the water level is waaaaaaaaaaaaay below normal and it makes the park look a little dry. and unpleasant. The only thing is that the park is always clean and well taken care of. Just wish there were more water… ahh!

Seriously beautiful. Come with the family, friends or your dogs. I stop by here every time I visit Big Bear, in the beginning of summer and the snow has melted the water level rises and give this beautiful reflection of the sky.

Quite possibly the nicest place in Big Bear. On second thought, it’s the best. Very scenic, the water is bluer and cleaner, and it’s immaculately kept. Bring a blanket, a picnic basket, and get ready to take a nice nap. * Sunset spot * Fishing spot * Beautiful rock formations * Sell my soul for some of the houses with this view

This tiny park was created for chillaxin, taking pictures, and fishing… no other reasons are needed. Short, squat boulders rest near the paths that criss-cross this park. In this small place, I always see at least 5 other people just relaxing on the grass snoozing, reading a book, or possibly meditating on the view because they forgot a camera. Not only is this located near Big Bear Lake, but the views of the rounded boulders jutting up from the water is beautiful. The tiny pier is frequented by fishermen, but is also an ideal location to take photos of that little island made of boulders yards away. It doesn’t look like you can launch water craft or go swimming at the park itself, but due to its proximity to marina-like area, I’m sure it’s easy enough to leave your car at this park and drag your butt to a different launching location.

Seems like the go to park as you arrive in Big Bear you could feed the ducks or go fishing but you can’t forget to take a picture with the bear. The lake was frozen when we came kinda made you wonder if the ice would hold you enough to walk on it.

I’m a fan! This was the place I scoped out to check out while driving to our little cabin for the weekend. I read that they just reopened this park… since it was closed for quite some time for renovations. You could probably tell that this was a «newer» park because it had all these little«dirt» roads and a new looking white fence. Obviously, this place is called«Boulder Bay» because of these rock formations in the middle of the water… with these random pine trees growing between them. For me, it was an amazing sight to see this on one side and turn around and see snow on the trees behind me. Loved it! :)
