Golf Course at
Lake Arrowhead Lodge
This is perhaps one of the earliest views of golf being played in the San Bernardino mountains. This image is from the early 1920's and today this is the Lake Arrowhead Country Club located in Grass Valley.

Lake Arrowhead Village
- 1924
The 'Village' opened on June 24, 1922. In 1921 the Arrowhead Reservoir and Power Company, that had lost a long and ugly battle over water rights, sold the lake and surrounding property to a syndicate called the 'Arrowhead Lake Company'. The new owners were primarily interested in the property and lake for recreation.

The dam - Little
Bear Lake
(Lake Arrowhead) - circa 1905
The dam construction began in 1901. The 'Arrowhead Reservoir Company' founded in 1890 had visions of creating a great reservoir to provide water to San Bernardino residents on the south side of the mountains. Nearly 30 years later, this vision evaporated.

The Village - circa
1930
The 'Arrowhead Lake Company', after acquiring the lake and surrounding property, in 1921, began a $8,000,000 improvement program. Included was a Norman English style village, depicted here. The original village was intentionally burned in the 1970's and replaced by the current 'Village' - with only the Casino remaining.
