Our Guide to Crestline and Lake Gregory
Food scene
We love the Crestline Cafe! And it's just a five minute walk from the cabin. With three small picky eaters, we always find success. There are plenty of high chairs, a large kids menu, and nobody cares if the kids make a little too much noise. It's a typical diner menu (breakfast all day, etc.), large portions, and wonderful service.

Great American food in a wonderful setting. You get the feeling the Bear House has been around as long as Crestline has. Awesome ambience, wonderful service, and something to eat for the whole family. There is a pool hall and bar on one side as well.

City/town information
We love walking the trail around the lake with our kids! We can feed ducks, fish, and splash around in the edges of the lake.
A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE LAKE
The area, originally known as Houston Flat, was developed by and named for its developer, Redlands citrus grower Arthur Gregory, Sr. Work began in 1937 to dam the east and west forks of Houston Creek, whose waters drained into tributaries of the Mojave River. The project was nearly completed by March 1938, but federal funds had run out. Gregory financed the completion of the project, lending money to the district for the completion. Heavy rains that March put the dam to its first test. It had been estimated that it would take three years to fill the lake. So heavy were the rains that the lake filled in only three days. An unconfirmed, but plausible urban legend claims that the construction equipment left on the lake bed in 1938 during the rains remains at the bottom of the lake today. A road built over the dam (present-day Lake Drive) completed the project in January 1939.

Sightseeing
A 1.3-mile loop trail with a waterfall at the end. Spring and summer are a popular time to visit Heart Rock when Seeley Creek flows and the waterfall gushes. The trail remains enjoyable even when the creek dries out in late fall as autumn colors appear, brightening the black oaks along the trail. This short trail is good for children. The trail is open year-round and is beautiful to visit anytime. Dogs are welcome, but must be on a leash.
