Lake Arrowhead Resort & Spa

Adventure in the Pines

For outdoor enthusiasts, active couples, friends & adventure seekers

Trade the ordinary for a few days of fresh mountain air, lake views, and adventure in the San Bernardino Mountains. Adventure in the Pines is designed for those who would rather spend their getaway exploring than sitting still—from time on the lake and trails through the pines to outdoor adventures at SkyPark.

With multiple days to explore, there’s no need to rush. Start your mornings with coffee and mountain views, spend your days discovering the best of Lake Arrowhead, and return to the resort each evening to relax, refuel, and enjoy everything the mountain has to offer.
