The Lake
Lake Arrowhead is a 784-acre private man-made lake with 14 miles of shoreline and an average depth of 100 feet, the deepest spot 185 feet. The lake was originally created in the early 1900′s as a reservoir. State laws, however, later prohibited its use as a reservoir, and in the 1920′s a small Alpine Village was erected on the south shore.
This has since been replaced with a wonderful lakefront shopping center and the beautiful Lake Arrowhead Village Resort. Blue Jay Village, located nearby is also a fine shopping center.
Arrowhead Woods
There are 10,710 lots in Arrowhead Woods, where property ownership carries with it the right to use the lake for boating and fishing. The year round population is about 13,000.
