Angelus Oaks is a lovely little town on the back way to Big Bear, home to 300 residents. It is a strong community that looks out for each other and is known for mountain biking and hiking. We highly recommend heading over to the Oaks restaurant and picking up one of their “fruit if the Forest pies”. But make sure to get your reservation in as they are typically sold out by Saturday afternoon. The market is a great resource, and has a fantastic selection of wine and beer, but don’t plan on getting any meat or produce here.
