Parks, National Forests, and Adventure PassLos Padres National Forest The Forest Service Adventure Pass is a recreation use pass for visitors using the Southern California National Forests (Angeles, Cleveland, Los Padres and San Bernardino.) It is required to be displayed on vehicles parked on these Forests while visitors are participating in recreation activities (picnicking, skiing, hiking, snow-play, hunting, fishing etc.) The pass is $5 per day or $30 per year. You don’t need a Pass while parked at places where a site fee is already charged (such as ski resorts or fee campgrounds.) You also don’t need a Pass when you are traveling through the Forest but not stopping, when you are parked at your residence or at an organization camp in its permitted area, or are in an area covered by a Special Use Permit. A Pass is not required for people stopping for information at Ranger Stations, Visitor Centers and other Forest Service offices. Volunteers and educational institutions are exempt, but require an Administrative Pass issued by a local Forest Service office. Where to purchase an adventure pass locally: Don's Liquor Mart More information on Adventure Pass:

Pyramid Lake and Quail Lake offer some of the finest striped bass angling you’ll ever experience. Pyramid Lake has largemouth bass, crappie, bluegill, rainbow trout and catfish. Quail Lake has rainbow trout, catfish and bluegill, as well. If you like stream trout fishing, then you’ll find both native and stocked trout in the streams that are located within this part of the Los Padres National Forest. Don’t forget, your California fishing license is required at all of these locations. Pyramid Lake Recreational Area is located in the Angeles National Forest, about 11 miles south of Gorman, along the I-5. The facility offers boating, fishing, swimming, day use picnic area and overnight campgrounds. Boat rental, wet and dry slip boat storage and a snack bar service the marina.

Snow SportsMt. Pinos has some of the best cross-country skiing in Southern California with more than 14 miles of trails. Sledding and general snow play are also available on Mt. Pinos and in other designated areas within the Los Padres National Forest. Nordic skiing or cross-country skiing is a fast growing winter sport in California. It has long been popular in the colder parts of Europe, and Californians are beginning to realize the freedom this winter sport offers. All you need is an area with some snow cover and flat ground and a little training in techniques. Forest roads are good to begin with. You also might want to take advantage of some of the defined trails marked with skill levels Tobogganing, sledding, inner tubing and other "snow play": Use caution when using inner tubes, sleds and toboggans. Make sure where you are going before you take a ride so you don’t end up in a tree trunk or off a bank onto a road. Use common sense. Monitor children for fatigue and hypothermia. Snowmobiling is allowed only on designated routes in the Mt. Pinos area. Check with the Forest Service to learn which areas are open.
