County
Based on California DWR well completion reports. Big Bear Lake's average well depth is 154 feet shallower than the Riverside County average of 320 feet.
With 166 wells on record, Big Bear Lake has a moderate well infrastructure. The wide depth range of 8 to 910 feet reflects the varied terrain and geology across Big Bear Lake's landscape. Shallower wells typically tap into alluvial aquifers near drainages, while deeper wells penetrate mixed alluvial deposits and crystalline basement rock of the Peninsular Ranges to reach more reliable water sources.
At an average depth of 166 feet, well inspections in Big Bear Lake should include a static water level measurement, pump performance test, and water quality screening. See detailed well depth data for Big Bear Lake →
