When you turn onto Stanfield Marsh rd off Big Bear Blvd there is off street parking on either side of the road. There is also a larger lot on the right hand side of Stanfield Marsh rd (if you're coming from Big Bear Blvd)
There is no side street parking on Big Bear Blvd. There is a small lot at Stanfield Cutoff and Big Bear Blvd. Some / limited parking on Stanfield Cutoff near the elementary school, and more parking off NORTHSHORE /Hwy 38 to the left, and up the road a bit after the stop sign - might be East Public Boat Ramp. The Preserve is on the South side of Stanfield Cutoff and the North side of Division. The wooden path is easily accessible from the small parking lot on Stanfield Cutoff. There is a path from the parking lot around the corner of Stanfield Cutoff and Northshore /Hwy 38 to the sidewalk / path ON Stanfield Cutoff with pedestrian cross ways...Best to use the signal crosswalk at Stanfield Cutoff and Big Bear Blvd though. P.S. The Preserve does not have "visible" water in it at this time (July 2022). People have been posting photos of the north side of Stanfield Cutoff which is still part of Big Bear Lake.
