Cradled in the San Bernardino Mountains at 4,500 feet, Lake Gregory is a popular mountain retreat located within Lake Gregory Regional Park in Crestline. The lake is fully developed with a sandy beach, inflatable water park (in summer), fishing docks, and hiking trails around the shoreline. Non-motorized boating is popular, and the Lake Gregory Company offers rentals, a bait & tackle shop, and seasonal concessions. Anglers target trout, catfish, and bass. Birdwatchers enjoy spotting ospreys and herons along the lake’s wooded edges. Hiking and mountain biking trails lead into the surrounding forest, and in winter, the area offers peaceful snow-dusted scenery. After your outing, grab a coffee at Higher Grounds Coffee House in Crestline’s quaint village center.
