Big Bear Lake is home to many great dog-friendly trails to hike with your dog. The Woodland Interpretive Trail is one of them. The trailhead is located on North Shore Drive (Highway 38), just a quarter of a mile west of the Stanfield Cutoff, and one mile east of the Big Bear Discovery Center.
Set out on a walk with your dog along this wooded trail, which is designed for both you and your pet to enjoy. The trail offers an interactive guide with 16 posted stops. To begin your self-guided tour, pick up a brochure at the Big Bear Visitor Center. This will help you learn about the area’s botany, geology, and wildlife. Along the trail, boulder outcroppings provide a natural playground for children, and there are points that offer views of the lake. The trail is suited for biking, horseback riding, and helping young ones discover nature. This trail offers a way to spend quality time outdoors with your dog and family.
Please note that parking at the trailhead requires an Adventure Pass, which can be purchased at the Big Bear Discovery Center, Visitors Center and other retail outlets.
