It is a beautiful area, the county rangers are very friendly and the people running the dock area are very helpful. Then why am I disappointed. The property is located about 25 to 50 feet above the lake. We came there to do a little shore fishing or fishing from their dock. To reach one of them is a narrow old sidewalk that is poorly made and the angle between the slopes and the lake is very steep. The barrier pier is a joke. Long walk and then descend. Also, there is actually no place to fish. If you are our elders, then you don’t have to take a grass chair, draw a rope in the water and have a relaxing day. The reason I gave it 3 stars is that the venue is clean and the people working there are very friendly and the maps of the area are easy to read. We weren’t camping so I couldn’t comment on it any more, but they do have grocery stores, petrol pumps, cabin rentals and ground-floor restaurants. A variety of boat rentals and bait are also available. They have one day admission, an annual admission fee, and one year admission if you can present a $10 military card.

You need to pass through a forest before you suddenly come to this Lake Cachuma. The area is not large. You can rent a boat to visit, you can also see the scenery, some people are fishing, there is also a fresh fish market, which is a special travel experience!

We were lucky it was a sunny day with mild wind. There was a large telescope in the park to watch the birds, plenty of the day. They also had a motherboard information you can see the birds. There was also a toilet available.

The lake is fine, its the nasty shoreline that sucks.Ankle deep mud with hidden twigs,branches,and roots.Since the main beach part has been closed Patrons are expected to gain lake access through the shoreline...not safe, not easy.not fun. Re-open the darn beach,My family struggled with the poor shoreline conditions. How can you charge people an entrance fee and then tell them to sit in the mud and picnic...really !

Soda Lake is one of the largest alkaline lakes in California. The lake is located on the southwest side of the North Carrizo Plain, 100 kilometers east of St. Louis Obispo. It has no natural drainage point, so the water will eventually evaporate and dry in the summer, giving a very distinctive view.

is a 25 minute drive from downtown Big Bear. Low clearance vehicles should not have any problem reaching the Lake, but will not be able to continue to Champion Lodge Pole Pine (An SUV will be needed past Bluff Lake). Visited with my father (age 72), my wife, and my 2 boys (age 3 & 1). Beautiful lake. Surprised to see a chimney still standing from a log home that burned down years ago on the north side of the lake. Many log cabin structures still stand around the lake. Excellent place for a picnic. This lake has been used in 2 major motion pictures due to its unique beauty. Budget 90 minutes total to drive and visit the lake.
