The non-threatening Green Valley Lake is nothing like it's large neighbor Big Bear Lake (with all those speed boats, jet skis & waterski traffic). This body of water is so small they do not allow motorized boats, have very few services & limited parking. This small secluded lake would be a perfect spot for learning how to kayak or for taking the toddlers out for a spin on the peddling boats. There is a small beach for swimming too. Minimal concessions around lake.
