Lake Arrowhead - One of a Kind
The phrase "It's a Chamber of Commerce Day" is heard fre-
quently throughout the Lake Arrowhead Communities. Lake
Arrowhead is located in the mountains of Southern California.
Lake Arrowhead, part of the San Bernardino National Forest, is
just 90 miles east from Los Angeles, and a paradise of outdoor
recreation and year-round beauty.
It's all about the weather! It's easy to read statistics regarding
the weather in Lake Arrowhead, but one can not do justice to the
fabulous weather by using a chart.
