There is a little town in big bear where it all started called Fawnskin. They have Restaurants, shops, lodging, outdoor fun! Fawnskin is home to the American Bald Eagle, a hidden gem of a little town that lies on the North Shore side of Big Bear Lake.
Old Miner’s Days in July and August see the valley fill with parades, events, exhibitions, and chili cook-offs. Fawnshin hosts the hilarious Doo Dah Parade, the Loggers’ Jubilee and the Fawnskin Festival.
Many hiker trails begin on the North Shore of Big Bear Lake- Gray’s Peak Trail, Cougar Crest Trail (which leads to the pacific Crest trail), the woodland Intrepretive Trail, and the Alpine Pedal Path.

Big Bear Valley is compiled of many different areas, one of my favorites being Fawnskin.
The town of Fawnskin is located on the North Shore of Big Bear, and offers a cute and quaint alternative to the hustle and bustle of the more populated Big Bear Lake.
In Fawnskin, you will will find restaurants, shops, anitque stores, and of course the other side of the lake. I would highly recommend taking a drive into Fawskin during your trip in Big Bear.
For more information about this adorable place, you can go to www.fawnskinchamber.com.
Winterfest is taking place in Fawnskin this President’s Weekend, Saturday Feb. 14th.
This is the second year to hold this event. The fun activities include a contest to carry and stack firewood, build the largest snowman, who is wearing the best flannel shirt. There are also demonstrations going on, participants are treated to hot cocoa or coffee. The Fawnskin Fire Department is the location of the event, starting time is 10:00 am.
Good luck and have a great time!
