Green Valley Lake Area is a climbing area in the Mountaintop Ranger District of San Bernardino National Forest in California, managed by the Forest Service. It sits within a cluster of lakes, campgrounds and climbing spots, with Green Valley Lake about half a mile away and the Green Valley campground under a mile off. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from the nearby Big Bear Lake weather station show July highs around 80°F with lows near 50°F, while winter highs sit in the mid-40s. That station sits a few hundred feet lower than the area, so temperatures here run a little cooler. The Green Valley Lake Pinnacles climbing area is about a mile away, and Snow Play Walls is about 2 miles off. For an overnight stay, Crab Flats campground is roughly 1.4 miles away, and Arrowbear Lake offers fishing about 2.3 miles from the area.
