We can't think of a better way to learn more about Big Bear Lake while enjoying a relaxing afternoon than on a cruise aboard Miss Liberty. 
This classic styled river steamer offers sightseeing of the lake and surrounding mountains while listening to a knowledgeable guide explain the Lake's construction, the region's rich history as well as ownership of some of the hotel sized mansions along its shores.
The lake is man made and how this all took place and why is part of the guide's narration.  The Miss Liberty is most comfortable with both inside and outside deck seating and refreshments are available.
Over decades we have made many trips to Big Bear Lake but most occurred in winter for skiing at one of the three excellent winter resorts located there.
About the city, lake and early history we knew little.  This all changed after our Miss Liberty cruise.
The ship can be found at the foot of Big Bear Village in Pine Knot Marina.   Address is 439 Pine Knot Avenue and there is ample free parking.  For schedule call 909 866-8129, on the web at www.pineknotmarina.com.
