Big Bear Lake

One of the best places to view wildlife in Big Bear is at the Stanfield Cut-off, the causeway that crosses the eastern portion of Big Bear Lake. In winter, watch for bald eagles. Call the Big Bear Discovery Center for bald eagle count, 1-909-382-2790. All year watch for white pelicans, coots, great blue herons, and mergansers.

Fishing information: Rainbow trout may be planted by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Their fish planting schedule is available online.
