In this area, there are dozens of lakes connected by a network of trails.  Over a dozen of the lakes
can only be reached by walking.  If your interests include the outdoors, photography, bird
 watching, fishing, or just relaxing by a gentle mountain stream, then you've found the ideal vacation
 area.  If you're looking for lodging with all the meals cooked for you, take a look at Gold Lake
 Lodge. At this resort, the only planning you have to do is what clothes to wear, and how to spend
 your free time.  They rent by the night for those with a tight schedule.  If you would rather cook
 the meals yourself, Elwell Lodge's cabins have kitchens as well.  Both lodges provide boats for
 the guests to use on nearby Long and Big Bear Lakes.  On nearby Gold Lake is the Stables,
 which provides overnight pack rides as well as daily horseback riding.  Choose from one hour to
 full day rides around the lakes. 

This is the perfect romantic summer getaway area.  Get lost in a country adventure, and forget
 about the stress of the city.

Also, in nearby Graeagle, California (just 7 miles away) there are over a half dozen golf courses.
 They also have miniature golf and a driving range.  Fun for all ages!
