Erwin Lake: A Quiet Gem in the Big Bear Valley
Erwin Lake, named after one of Big Bear Valley’s earliest ranching families, sits at the eastern edge of the valley and straddles both sides of State Highway 38. The “lake” itself is a dry lakebed that lies at the heart of this peaceful mountain community.
Set in a mostly flat valley and framed by gentle hills to the north and west—with the dramatic Sugarloaf Mountain rising to the south—Erwin Lake offers a unique blend of open skies, sage and ironwood vegetation, and distant pine-covered slopes.
This area features a mix of well-known neighborhoods, including the equestrian-friendly Hamilton Estates, the prestigious Meadowbrook Estates, and the charming Wildhorse Estates.
The central section of Erwin Lake is home to modest single-family homes on smaller lots, some along unpaved roads, lending a rustic, laid-back vibe. At the southwestern edge, a newer subdivision offers larger parcels, paved roads, and custom-built homes with a more modern feel.
To the north lies Shay Meadow, an adjoining area with spacious acreage properties, ranch-style homes, and equestrian facilities. Just above on the hillside, a few luxury custom homes enjoy panoramic views of the valley below. Both areas offer easy access to nearby hiking and horseback riding trails.
Home styles in Erwin Lake range from cozy Gambrels and mountain chalets to more traditional one- and two-story designs. Price points span from budget-friendly to mid-range, making this an excellent option for first-time buyers, retirees, or families seeking a quiet getaway.
Public services are provided by the Big Bear City Community Services District, City of Big Bear Lake, Southwest Gas, and Bear Valley Electric.
Recreation is close at hand with a recently updated neighborhood park featuring picnic areas and a playground. Just off Highway 38, "The Ranch" community facility offers tennis, basketball, and volleyball courts—great for families and active residents alike. While Erwin Lake has no formal business district, shopping and dining options are just a short drive away in nearby Big Bear City.
With its mix of affordability, natural beauty, variety of home styles, and year-round accessibility, Erwin Lake offers the ideal setting for full-time living, a cozy cabin escape, or a peaceful retirement retreat.
