Arrowhead Queen Tour Boat — Attraction in Lake Arrowhead

We took a friend to visit Lake Arrowhead as she had never been before. When my siblings and I were in grammar school, back in the early 60's, our parents bought a place in Arrowhead and we spent many weekends and numerous summers there and had some of the best times of our early lives there. While the lake has basically remained the same, the village has undergone some incredible changes and updates for the good but sadly, the village is now nothing like it was before the recent pandemic, which many shop proprietors say that their overall business has declined severely due to the pandemic. On a much brighter note, the absolute highlight of the trip was taking the approximately 1 hour tour of the lake on the Arrowhead Queen. Matt was our captain and he was absolutely hilarious in some of his comments and he had so many facts about both the lake and it's surrounding area as well as many of the absolutely gorgeous properties, when they were built and even who some of the past and current owners of these properties are. If your travels ever take you to Lake Arrowhead, I would highly recommend taking this tour on the Arrowhead Queen and if possible, try to schedule the tour when Matt will be at the helm. I guarantee you will have an enjoyable trip with lots of laughs...

The Lake Arrowhead Queen Boat tour is a very interesting trip around Lake Arrowhead where you can see the full private lake and some of the homes surrounding the lake, and also get a pretty comprehensive history of the lake and the celebrities that live around it.

Our Captain was Don, and he had a great sense of humor. He really enjoyed being our guide and telling us a lot of funny stories about people who have lived there, movies made, and lots of miscellaneous info.

The trip takes about 1 hour and costs $18.50 per adult, 16:50 for seniors, and I believe it was $14.00 for children. The two of us went on the tour at 11:00 am.

I don't want to point out any of the celebrity homes or history, since it is pretty neat hearing it for the first time. It is not too costly to see the full lake. Remember Arrowhead Lake is private and there are not very many ways you can get to the shore or see the homes along the shore unless you live there, or belong to the ALA (Arrowhead Lake Association). Enjoy the photos, and try to plan a trip...

Only 90 miles east of Los Angeles, it is easy to get to from many big cities in Southern California. Yet, it's proximity to large urban areas does not speak at all of the town itself.

Small buildings with red roofs, clear blue waters, and vibrant green pine trees decorated this town from end to end.
