Unable to access the north side, was only a dirt road and hard to access. Later in 1917 became Fawnskin when a road paved to the north shore completed. A lodge was erected, the first major building; later closed; used currently for several small businesses. Before highway 18 evolved, people had to come through Fawnskin to access Big Bear area. After the highway was built, they had less travelers. Big Bear City & Lake city grew as a result of the traffic coming from the South shore. It's a quiet area which residents prefer.
