The Woodland Trail is an interpretive trail with 20 posted markers, ideal for families with young children. By picking up a pamphlet at the entrance, hikers can take themselves on a self-guided tour to learn about the botany, wildlife and geology of this unique area, which is described as a dry woodland.

Located on the north side of Big Bear Lake, the trailhead is a 5 minute drive east of the Discovery Center. The free guide is written by Forest Service volunteers and can be picked up at the Big Bear Discovery Center.

Woodland Trail is a nice trail on which to enjoy a picnic.
