ACCESS Access to Bluff Lake is off Big Bear Blvd. west of town on either Tulip Lane or Mill Creek Road. At Oak Knoll Lodge, turn south on Forest Service Road 2N10. After about a mile the pavement ends and becomes an improved dirt road (passenger car accessible). Follow the 2N10 another 2.6 miles to the junction with 2N86 and bear left, following the sign that says "<---Bluff Lake Reserve." In approximately a 1/2 mile, look for the sign on the right: "Bluff Lake Reserve 1/2 -->" and turn right on the access road and proceed a 1/2 mile to the main parking area. The Champion Lodgepole Pine is accessible from from the reserve - see the posted maps or ask the ranger for a map and directions.
