The Big Bear Municipal Water District will dedicate a Friday workshop session entirely to discussing how the lake's after-hours banding process works — and potentially how it could change.
The lake stood at 63'8" on August 20 — seven inches lower than a year ago — as boat launches trail last year's pace and a YMCA camp director asked the board to consider a no-wake zone in Boulder Bay.
Water district officials say year-over-year levels are tracking similarly to 2025, but the final picture depends on how much snowpack melts this spring.
