Point Your Way to Lake Arrowhead

Lake Arrowhead (11/7/15) Alena Nicholas

Lake Arrowhead is a late October to early November peak. True to form, it’s at peak, as these photos from San Bernardino Mountains color spotter, Alena Nicholas demonstrate.

Lake Arrowhead Resort (11/7/15) Alena Nicholas

Rose, orange and gold have decorated the woods near the Lake Arrowhead Resort and Spa. This is one of Marriott’s “Autograph Collection” properties.

Because Lake Arrowhead is a private lake, access to boating and the lakeside trail are limited to property owners and their guests. However, guests at LARS get to use the resort’s boat and a key to hike the trail, exclusive ways to see the color surrounding the lake.

Should you visit the resort, drop into the gift shop to see more of Alena Nicholas’ photos displayed.

Maple and dogwood, Lake Arrowhead (11/7/15) Alena Nicholas

Black oak, Lake Arrowhead (11/7/15) Alena Nicholas

Alena reports that of black oaks are now either peaking or near peak, though dogwood, maple, and cottonwood are still showing lovely color around Lake Arrowhead and in its village. The last time we were there, we included a bit of window shopping and a snack.

Lake Arrowhead’s fall color should last another week, if winds don’t strip the trees.

Next up, Lake Silverwood where many beautiful oaks are peaking, and perhaps a glimpse of Big Bear and what’s happening there.
