📸 Scenic
Easy 2.5-mile loop from Snow Summit through woodlands with north shore views — drops into The Village.
The Towne Trail begins from the Snow Summit base area and weaves through Big Bear's south-shore woodlands with views of the north shore and lake. When the trail forks at Forest Road 2N08, you can either loop back for a 2.5-mile round trip or take a left up the fire road to connect to other trails. Take a right and the trail drops down Knickerbocker Road into The Village — making it one of the few trails that ends in walking-distance to dinner.
🌟 Why Locals Love It
End your hike with dinner in The Village. Hard to beat that combo.
What to Expect
Woodland trail with north shore views. Multiple route options at the 2N08 fork.
