About North Shore Landing
North Shore Landing operates from the quieter north side of Big Bear Lake at 38573 North Shore Drive in Fawnskin, offering the largest rental fleet on the water. While most marinas cluster along the busy south shore near the Village, North Shore Landing's location gives renters direct access to less-crowded stretches of the lake and a more relaxed launching experience — plus free parking for every rental customer.
The fleet covers the full spectrum of on-water activities: pontoon boats for group cruises, fishing boats, high-performance WaveRunners and jet skis, tow-sport packages for wakeboarding and water skiing, kayaks, and stand-up paddleboards. Rental periods range from one hour to full-day, and the staff can recommend routes and coves based on wind conditions and what you're looking for — calm paddling, open-water riding, or a sheltered fishing spot.
North Shore Landing has built a strong reputation as the go-to outfitter for visitors who want variety and availability without the south-shore crowds. Over 200 Yelp reviews highlight the friendly dock staff, well-maintained equipment, and the scenic advantage of launching from the Fawnskin side, where forested shoreline and mountain views are the backdrop rather than commercial development.
