One of the best things about Little Lake is Ernie, the guy who greets you at the pay station and…read moreoccasionally drives around the pond to check if you need any assistance. He's the introduction to the wonderful day you will have at this beautiful pond. Ernie is not bossy or intrusive. He only wants you to have a good time, be safe and enjoy your day. If you ASK him, he'll show you where the baby ducks and water fowl babies are. He clearly treasures them and seeing them can only enhance your visit. I loved my fishing visit to Little Lake. It is so peaceful, so beautiful, so relaxing there. I live in the Pasadena area which is a 4-5 hr.drive round trip. But it's definitely worth the effort. I'm an 84 yr.old fisherwomen and I loved every moment of my 8 hr. fishing experience here. I caught bass and bluegill.Can't get better than that. At one point I was fishing in an area that was not safe for me: too slippery a shoreline, high gravel banks.... Ernie came over and said, "Mama, this is not a good place for you. Let me help you out of there and move your stuff to a safer area." He was right and he did that for me. Thanks,Ernie. I love the easy, friendly conversations between fishing "people," in general, they are never are competitive: "What bait are you using? How deep are you fishing?" This camaraderie was alive and well at Little Lake. This pond is not for anglers who only care about the best and the biggest fish. This oasis is for those of us who just want to experience the best of nature and the best of human interactions.

BOYYYYY HUHHHH??? Completely inconsistent and a total waste of money. Avoid this place unless you like paying for gaslighting

Just got back from our ATV trail riding in Angeles Forest. It was Amazing! Highly recommend!…read moreOur guide Kevin was terrific! The safety equipment provided is excellent. Even paper ski masks to help keep out the dust! That was a very nice and unexpected touch. I was a bit nervous after reading some of the reviews about getting the waivers done. But it's not hard. I've worked in IT help desks for years so I know some people are just not good with a computer. That's fine. Just read the instructions carefully and you'll get thru. Or just get help from a teenager. :-) To get to this location they give you very good directions. If you follow them you'll have no issues. It's actually very easy! But GPS is not great for the less traveled roads in the mountains going to a place that doesn't really have a street address. We will be going back soon! Hopefully for 2 hours next time!

We recently planned a family trip to Big Bear and booked a tour with Big Bear Zipline for a very…read morespecial celebration involving multiple family birthdays. Unfortunately, due to a mistake on our end when marking our calendar, we missed our original booking date. We absolutely acknowledged and took full responsibility for the error, and respectfully reached out to Big Bear Zipline to explain the situation and see what options were available to salvage the experience. As shown in the attached screenshots, we approached the situation kindly, respectfully, and understanding that businesses must balance policies with customer service. We shared that we were not asking for a free experience, but simply hoped for some understanding given the circumstances and the significant payment we had already made. Despite our efforts to find a middle ground, the business remained firm, reiterating that although they "have compassion," they would not accommodate further without additional payment. While we respected their right to enforce their policy, the interaction felt very transactional, and sadly did not reflect the spirit of hospitality we had hoped for when planning a meaningful family trip. We received one email when we purchased the tickets two months ago and one phone call 10 minutes before our scheduled reservation. In the end, it may have been a blessing in disguise. We explored other activities around Big Bear that felt incredibly welcoming, fun, and family-oriented -- experiences that created beautiful memories we will cherish for a lifetime. We share this review not out of anger, but to offer honest feedback: mistakes happen, and sometimes, a little flexibility and kindness could leave a much bigger, positive impact on families looking to create lasting memories.
