As much as we love Big Bear City, for us the best picnic areas with the views are when you drive to Fawnskin, CA past their little village (by the boat ramps about 15 minutes from Rainbow house). Dont forget to bring the Rainbow House "picnic gear" that we leave out in the back deck during the Spring to Fall months.
