In July and August, the USARC takes to the fresh waters of Big Bear Lake for wet and wild water skiing, jet skiing, kayaking, sailing and fishing. Using a variety of modified and standard recreation equipment, along with a skilled staff of recreation therapists, lifeguards, licensed boat operators and expertly trained volunteers, the excitement and adventure of these sports are safely introduced to each participant.
An exciting off-road, downhill wheelchair program offers access to back-country terrain and gravity-fed thrills previously available only to mountain bikers. Participants who want to leave the beaten path will feel the freedom of descending through the forest on wide-open fire roads or narrow, twisting trails. Bumps, ruts, rocks, roots and ravines are smoothed by the four-wheel suspension on these "Chariots" while disc brakes provide speed control and sure stops.
