Introduction

Lake Arrowhead is a reservoir in Southern California's San Bernardino Mountains, named for its arrow-like outline, ringed by pines and granite and one of LA's favourite summer and weekend escapes. Lake Arrowhead Village blends boutiques, cafés and lakeview dining; the marina offers sightseeing cruises or kayak rental on clear water. The rim road links overlooks and forest trails — autumn colours, summer swimming, fishing and boating. It mixes mountain quiet with small-town ease, a quick retreat for city dwellers.
