400 Pine Knot Blvd. E-27, Big Bear Lake, CA 92315

Spring on Big Bear is the moment when next season's lake life either gets locked in or gets watched from shore. The 2026 season opens May 1, and this is a rare chance to own a 22-foot slip at Pine Knot Marina, one of Big Bear Lake's most established full-service marinas, with the entire summer still ahead of you.

The slip sits on E Dock in the protected inner harbor, where the water stays calm and mooring stays easy from opening day through November. A 22-foot length is the sweet spot on this lake. It fits the bowriders, ski boats, and family cruisers that dominate Big Bear summers, without paying for length you don't need.

A few reasons this one matters right now. The slip is priced below every other comparable dock currently listed at Pine Knot. Only two or three other slips are on the market, so the field is unusually thin for buyers ready to move. New for 2026, Pine Knot is offering a Slip Rental Plus option that lets qualifying owners launch as early as April 16, two weeks ahead of the season opener and before the summer crowd arrives.

Owning at Pine Knot is more than a place to tie up. The marina includes a full-time mechanical service department, a ships store, fuel sales, and storage facilities for trailers and gear, all on-site. Owners get two free launches per season, one at the start and one at the end. Optional 24-hour gate access is available. And from this marina you have what locals consider one of the best vantage points on the entire lake for the Memorial Day, July 4th, and Labor Day fireworks shows.

If a dock at Big Bear has been the long-term plan, spring is when it pencils out best. I can walk you through pricing, the transfer process, and how this slip compares to the others currently on the market.
