Alpine Pedal Path Trail 1E50 — Attraction in Big Bear Lake

I have to give this 5 stars as this is a great scenic walk, as well as a bike path, with different points of access to Big Bear Lake. The North End of the path, where my husband and I started has street side parallel parking which was easy to find, and offered ample space to park. However as we found through our ramble there are plentiful places to park so you can enjoy the trail. This path meanders through a boat launch area (where this is parking as well as restrooms), near the Meadows Edge and Juniper Picnic Area, and the Serrano Campground (which all have parking and restrooms). You can also access other Trails if you cross the street Woodland Trail is near where we started, Big Bear Discovery Center is accessible also as well as the Cougar Crest Trail. There are also a couple of paths that give you access to the lake front along the trail.

This is an easy trail. A very easy trail. It is definitely a stroll with vistas of forest, a meadow, and of course the lake. After hiking the Castle Rock Trail this was a piece of cake. A paved road, with no incline, not much of a challenge, but a nice morning stroll.

It is also a bike path where we encountered many families enjoying riding their bikes without really having to worry about auto traffic. Which is a awesome especially if you have munchkins with energy to burn off. We even saw a young child learning to ride without training wheels. (Definitely a great place for this) And of course the campgrounds and boat launch offer great areas to park and unload bikes with access to the trail)

This is a great path that everyone can enjoy. If you are in Big Bear I would definitely recommend coming here as a great way to enjoy...

Wanted to take the whole family on a hike. This was a very nice path to walk/bike on. It is paved and fairly flat if you have little ones in strollers. The whole thing is pretty flat, but there is some elevation change but it never gets too steep. There are beautiful views since it is next to the lake.

My little guy rode his balance bike and had no problems. One negative about this trail is that it doesn't loop so you have to turn back. But not looping could be a positive since you don't have to complete the whole trail, you can make your hike a length you like. Just remember if you walk 3 miles in, you have to walk 3 miles back. My little guy tuckered out once we got about a mile and a half in, luckily we pushed his stroller with us so he rode in the stroller back. I had to carry the bike back. Luckily it's not big or heavy.

Definitely would walk this path again. In these COVID times it was not too crowded when we went in the morning. Definitely there were people but most were masked and...

I love to hike I've been going to big bear over 30yrs It's changed some I'm still disappointed there are no markers on the trail You don't know where you are how far in the trail you are I missed hike big Bertha cause the sign was just a piece of plastic with a marker say big Bertha Very disappointed in the forest service for how they maintain their trails How much would it cost to put a nice sign place some numbered colored diamond so when visitors come to hike They know how long the trail is and so they don't get lost In Arizona our trails are marked Maps are provided so visitors know how long the trails are How difficult they are There numbered so you know how far in the trail you are And the diamond signs also let you know your still...
