The Pine Knot Trail in Big Bear Lake starts from the Aspen Glen Picnic Area on Mill Creek Road. This trail, where your leashed canine companions are more than welcome, offers a serene escape as it meanders through a forest of white fir, Jeffrey pine, majestic oaks, and manzanita. The path crosses the 2N08 and runs adjacent to the Deer Group Camp, leading you towards the 2N10.
Here, you’re just a quarter-mile stroll away from Grandview Point, a spot well worth the walk for its breathtaking views of Mt. San Gorgonio. It’s a trail that seasoned hikers can complete the round trip in less than three hours, but it’s also perfect for families looking for a half-day outing in nature. Don’t forget to bring a picnic to enjoy amidst the natural beauty. Note that an Adventure Pass is required for this trail.
