LAKE
ARROWHEAD, CA. |
| |
The
earliest settlements by Europeans in this area were due to the
logging industry.
In the 1800's, Chinese work crews dug a series of tunnels through
the San Bernardino mountains connecting to Lake Arrowhead.
A narrow gauge steam train ran along what is now "Rim of
the World" highway, through Running Springs and into Grass
Valley.
The tower that stands in the middle of Lake Arrowhead is 195 feet
high and is an outlet for water to the desert below. The charming
Willow Woods, a local shopping community, includes log cabin building
still in use that date back to the early 1900's. Tour companies
from all over the United States include Lake Arrowhead on their
itineraries.
The San Bernardino Mountains present a spectacular showcase of
life by offering visitors over 2,000 species of flora and nearly
400 species of fauna. The business district of Lake Arrowhead
was burned to the ground in the late 70's and was rebuilt to current
status. The pavilion which stands in the center of the village
was the only original building preserved.
Many, many movies have been filmed in lake Arrowhead, including
"Heidi", "Magnificent Obsession", "The
American President," "Space Jam," and "The
Parent Trap."
