About the Airport

Big bear has a nice small to medium sized field. The approach to runway 8 is over the lake and one of the prettiest I have ever flown. There is a cafe with great food on the field. A short walk across the street in the winter and you can do sledding. We hiked a bit and found some nice slopes. 

Things to Do

We just went up for the day after a snow storm. We ate lunch at the airport cafe. From what I remember it was good food. My daughter loved the Mickey Mouse shaped pancake. After lunch we headed across the street for an afternoon of sledding. We departed about 3P and made it back to Santa Paula in about 40 minutes. Such a fun day.
