Big Bear Links
- Big Bear Road Conditions - The most direct route to Big Bear is Hwy 330 from the 210 Freeway. It normally takes us 45 minutes from the 330/210 intersection to reach Waterview Cove; however on busy holidays or during winter storms that route can get congested; in that case using Hwy 38 from Redlands or Hwy 18 from Lucerne Valley can be quicker.
For current road condition just click on the road link below:
