There is no better way to see the Big Bear Valley than by canoe or kayak. The Big Bear Discovery Center is offering canoe and kayak tours Wednesday through Sunday, May through September. “A guided tour is the perfect way for first timers to learn basic skills needed to canoe or kayak on their own,” said Marco Guzman, Program Manager for the SBNFA. We invite you to experience the beauty of Big Bear Lake and the peace and serenity of paddling around the beautiful lake.
On our guided tour you will learn how to canoe through beautiful Big Bear Lake. After a quick paddling lesson, you will cruise along the shore looking for beaver, great blue herons, and ducklings. Along the way you will learn the natural history of the Big Bear Valley along with the various flora and fauna found in the area.
Tours are limited to 14 people, reservations are recommended. Tours are filled on a first come, first serve basis. Call or check our website for details. www.bigbeardiscoverycenter.com (909) 382-2790 or (909) 866-3437. Private tours can be arranged for groups of 8 or larger, Wednesday through Sunday. Please call to schedule. Participants should be at least 6 years of age for canoeing and 10 years of age for kayaking. Sandals, sunglasses, sunscreen and a light jacket are recommended.
