Lake Arrowhead is a pristine private mountain lake nestled in the San Bernardino Mountains of Southern California at an elevation of over 5,100 feet. This deep, cold water reservoir spans approximately 780 acres with a maximum depth of 183 feet and offers outstanding fishing opportunities for various gamefish species. The lake is characterized by its mostly steep shorelines, submerged boulders, rock formations, and numerous private docks. Lake Arrowhead maintains excellent water quality and benefits from a generous trout stocking program, coupled with relatively low fishing pressure due to its private nature. The crystal-clear waters and beautiful mountain scenery make it a picturesque fishing destination for those fortunate enough to have access.

California Stream Access Laws
The courts have described the reach of the California public right of navigation as “the right to navigate and to exercise the incidents of navigation in a lawful manner at any point below high water mark” on waters that satisfy California’s small craft test. Thus, property owners cannot interfere with the public’s right to navigate or use shoreline areas below the ordinary high water mark for incidents of navigation. In fact, unauthorized obstruction of the public’s right to access and use a navigable waterway constitutes a public nuisance.
