Fact text
- Lake Arrowhead was originally called 'Little Bear Lake' until a group of Los Angeles investors rebranded it around 1920.
- A visitor in 1978 described Lake Arrowhead as a 'clean, Swiss-like community with many chalets', high praise for a California mountain town.
- Lake Arrowhead hosts the county's largest free Oktoberfest, proving you don't need to be in Bavaria to party properly.
- The lake is entirely private, only property owners can use it, making it one of Southern California's most exclusive splashing spots.
- Getting lumber down the mountain in the early 1900s required disassembling locomotives and hauling them up by wagon, the hard way.
