How to Hike the Lake Trail in Lake Arrowhead
Adventuring up the mountain to Lake Arrowhead can make for an amazing day, week or extended trip! But if you’re looking to see the lake a bit more up-close than over the railing at the Village, you may be wondering if that’s allowed since there’s been a lot of change in the past few years about lake access. But….
Yes, Short Term Rental (STR) guests who rent on sites such as Airbnb, Vrbo or others can in fact walk the lake trails in Lake Arrowhead! It’s not a tough process to gain access, and if you’re our guest there’s a form below to get the whole process started.
Your host must register you with the ALA. To do so they will need your first name, last name, and email addresses of each guest over 18 who wishes to use the trails. Our guests click here to send your info and start the process.
You should then receive an email with paperwork. You must fill this out and then you’re now registered with the Lake Association.
Obtain your host’s RFID membership card (I will message you the location if your’e my guest) along with your photo ID / Driver’s License and you can hit the trail! The card is necessary to be able to open the locked gates, FYI.
Please note, you aren’t allowed to use any boats, kayaks, paddle boards, official beach clubs, docks or private property / lots.
If you’re going to be a guest at Arrowhead Pines Hideaway here in Lake Arrowhead, we’re thankfully only a 5 minute walk to the closest lake gate access point (Orchard Bay)! To sign up in advance and get this process started, click the link below to send me some contact info and I will reply to you once I have input your info into the ALA system.
