When is the best time to go to Lake Arrowhead?

The best time to go to Lake Arrowhead is during the summer months, from June to August, or in the autumn, from September to October. Summer offers the warmest weather, ideal for enjoying the lake itself. You'll find plenty of opportunities for boating, swimming, and fishing. The days are long, allowing for extended outdoor activities and evenings spent by the water. This period is particularly good for families looking for a classic lakeside holiday with lots of sunshine. For those who appreciate cooler temperatures and stunning natural beauty, autumn is a fantastic choice. The surrounding forests change to vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows, making for picturesque drives and walks.

Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy.

Alpen Bluffs Outdoor Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We had a good time…my grand kids loved the bikes…we were bummed the water obstacle wasn’t open but they enjoyed themselves in the pool..Definitely coming back!!"

Otsego Resort

8/10 Good

"Travelers should beware that Otsego Resort's front desk closes early, like 5 pm, even in the summer. I and my family were arriving late, so I called ahead, before 5 pm, to let them know of my late arrival. I had to leave a message, and no one called me back. When we arrived a little before 10 pm the doors were locked and the lights off. We had to find accomodations elsewhere. When I called the next day, the attendant at the front desk apologized profusely and promised to give me a refund. There was a problem with my card, but she persisted until I did get a refund. I give her 5 stars, but for travelers who might be arriving late it's best to seek lodging elsewhere."
