Directions to the park
It is a good idea to choose your route depending on weather conditions and the day of the week. When traveling to the Big Bear area, there are three main routes to choose from:
- State Hwy 330/Hwy 18 through Running Springs is the fastest and easiest route, however, it can get congested on weekends and busy holidays.
- Hwy 38 through Redlands is a bit longer, but is the most scenic and often has less traffic than HWY 330/Hwy 18.
- Finally there is Hwy 18 through Lucerne Valley, which gets less snowfall during storms and has the least amount of mountain driving.
**Remember to always carry chains in your vehicle when traveling in the mountains.
