Bluff Lake

I have started to work on the Bear Valley
Mutual Water Company files and as I was going through the documents I noticed
the word, “Bluff Lake.” As usual my imagination ran wild visualizing a lake
which really did not exist. Or did it?

It turns out Bluff Lake is one of the best
lakes in Big Bear! It is open from the beginning of May until the beginning of
November. The lake was the filming location for Dr. Dolittle 2! It is an ideal
spot to spend a day far from the madding crowd.
What’s really interesting is that in 1921,
James S. Edwards, trustee of Pomona College, bought the property for $1,100.
Edwards sold the property four years later to Pomona College for $10! Pomona
College owned the Bluff Lake until the 1940s.
