Forest Falls
is a tiny community located high in the San Bernardino Mountains of southern California. If you are looking for an uncrowded, secluded location to spend some quality quiet time, Forest Falls is the place for you. There is little more than a General Store and an excellent Mexican restaurant located in the village, but clean air, blue skies, mountain lakes and waterfalls and beautiful views of the valley below are just some of the surprises that await visitors to Forest Falls. You can choose to relax in the tranquil setting of Forest Falls, or just a short drive takes you to the world class resorts of Arrowhead and Big Bear Lake, which attract thousands of visitors each year. The San Bernardino Mountains offer streams and lakes for swimming, fishing and other water sports, many challenging hiking trails, winter sports, backpacking, camping and more. The region around Forest Falls is one of the most pristine, unspoiled areas found in California, and the San Bernardino National Forest has two spectacular drives that are part of the National Scenic Byway System.

Forest Falls Weather & Climate

|
|
The San Bernardino National Forest, near Big Bear Lake, is the only place in southern California that has four distinct seasons. At nearly 7,000 feet in elevation, the area enjoys warm, pleasant summers and crisp, cold winters. Its alpine tundra climate means plenty of snow in the wintertime for the ski slopes and occasional thunderstorms in spring and summer. The Big Bear Lake region also enjoys over 300 days of sunshine per year and is considered one of the sunniest places in the world. However, once the sun dips behind the mountains at night, it can be very cool %u2013 even in the middle of summer. The climate varies greatly from nearby Los Angeles. It can be 75 degrees in the city and 40 degrees in the mountains on the same day.
