About Lake Arrowhead
Lake Arrowhead is an unincorporated community and a census-designated place (CDP) in the San Bernardino Mountains of San Bernardino County, California, surrounded by the San Bernardino National Forest, and surrounding the eponymous Lake Arrowhead Reservoir. Lake Arrowhead is located 13 miles (21 km) north east of the San Bernardino city limits. The population of the CDP was estimated at 12,401 in the 2020 census.

Tourism is the primary economic generator for the area, contributing several million dollars per year to the county and providing hundreds of full-time and part-time jobs for local residents.

Lake Arrowhead offers over 1,600 guest accommodations, including more than 1,200 licensed vacation rentals on platforms like Airbnb and VRBO, around 175 rooms at the Lake Arrowhead Resort & Spa, and over 100 rooms at the UCLA Lake Arrowhead Lodge.
