About this postcard

A view across the blue water of Big Bear Lake, framed by tall pines and granite boulders along a bridle path near the dam, with a densely forested mountain slope rising on the far shore. Big Bear Lake, in the San Bernardino Mountains of Southern California, was created by a dam on Bear Creek completed in the 1880s and became a popular mountain resort and recreation area in the early 20th century. The card is a typical linen-era scenic issued by Frasher's Photo of Pomona, California.
