One of my favorite things to do in Lake Arrowhead is to take the kayaks out and paddle to Lone Pine Island. We packed a simple picnic lunch, put the life jackets on the dogs and off we went. Some days are a more leisurely paddle than others in terms of the wind and boats causing waves. Regardless it's always fun and great exercise. If you're an early morning person- the lake is like glass at 7am. (I'm not a morning person.)

Lone Pine Island is a tiny island in Blue Jay Bay. There's a little sandy beach where you can relax and picnic. If you venture out into the island you'll find a lone bench with a lovely view. I've been to the island several times and often we're the only ones there. It's such a special place. Because Lake Arrowhead is private to homeowners in the Arrowhead Woods- the lake is never crowded. (except for maybe on the 4th of July!)

We lounged for several hours in the sun doing absolutely nothing but enjoying the good life. When it was time to go we packed up our stuff, got the life jackets back on the dogs and headed home.

If you don't own property in the Arrowhead Woods and have lake rights (or have a friend that does) there are other options on the mountain for some lake action. Lake Gregory in nearby Crestline has kayak rentals. When I first moved to the mountain I went kayaking in
Lake Gregory and loved it. They also have what looks like a pretty fun water park for kids in the middle of the lake.
