This is from lhvrentals.com Can we swim in Lake Arrowhead? Similar to fishing, swimming in Lake Arrowhead is limited to the owners of property in the "Arrowhead Woods" and their guests. Some of our properties are located in the Arrowhead Woods and we do have Arrowhead Lake Association (ALA) passes giving you access to the 2 private beach clubs at the lake...the Burnt Mill Beach Club and the Tavern Bay Beach Club. The two beach clubs are officially open from Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day weekend. You can still access the beaches year round with the beach club passes. Our properties that are in the Arrowhead Woods state in the property description on our website that they include a ALA beach club cards that gives you access to the 2 private beach clubs, the ALA hiking trails around the lake and allows you to fish at Lake Arrowhead as our guest.
Lake Arrowhead is a private lake so you do need a permit for any lake arrowhead Beach. Big bear lake is Public.
I agree with Daniel, Big Bear would be the place to swim
It is a private community, from what I understand even if you are a guest you can't walk the lake unless the owner of the home is with you. Also if you are staying as a VRBO guest, since owner is not there you have no access to the lake. If you are caught ALA fines the homeowner.
Lake arrowhead is private, homes are all around but big bear lake you find open spots to be in water and so beautiful
