Taking Your Subaru to Big Bear Lake

Are you gearing up for a trip to Big Bear Lake? Making sure your Subaru is prepared for every obstacle thrown your way is imperative for a successful experience. Fortunately, we at Spreen Subaru are here to give you a step-by-step guide, so you can focus more on having fun and less on recalibrating your adventure when issues arise. 

Getting Started

Packing and planning can oftentimes cause stress, which is why we are here to provide you with a checklist to set you up for success. For starters, you’ll want to include any gear you’ll need to elevate your time spent on the lake. We also recommend bringing extra clothes, blankets, and a first aid kit in the event you take a spill. Once that’s accomplished, you’ll want to plan your route. Since Big Bear Lake is located just outside the city’s limits, make sure to check for gas stations or EV chargers nearby to get you home after your expedition. Lastly, grab snacks, water, and any other necessary items to keep you fueled throughout the duration of your trip. 

Accessories

Does your Subaru Forester or Crosstrek need a remodel to accommodate your weekend excursion? We have a variety of sophisticated genuine accessories that will complement your time spent at the recreation site. For example, whether you plan on taking a bike along the trails or kayaking on the water, a Thule® carrier can be mounted onto your car’s rails to include your secondary transportation. To keep your refreshments at an ideal temperature, ask our team about our Grizzly coolers, Maddox backpacks, or Hydro Flasks®. When the sun is at its peak, you’ll be able to stay comfortable with help from the Thule® roof awning that can be easily installed and extended. Do you plan on bringing your dog along for the ride? Spring for a pet ramp to help them easily get in and out of the SUV and pet travel bowls to keep them hydrated. 

Activities

To wrap things up, we’ll discuss some of the activities you can participate in at Big Bear Lake. If you need to get the blood pumping, walk along Grays Peak Trailhead while enjoying the breathtaking scenic views. You’ll also have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the wilderness because there are several campgrounds in the area. Do you plan on including the kids along for the ride? Venture off to the nearby Big Bear Observatory to stargaze and enjoy a top-notch learning experience. Ski Beach Park is also a hotspot because it allows adventurers to spend time on the water taking in the fresh air. Do you have any questions before setting out on your planned trip? Contact us today!
