LAKE ARROWHEAD CALIFORNIA

Hollywood & Horse Racing

Business was initially good and the little lake attracted many visitors over the years. Some of the lakeside land was subdivided and homes were built. Hollywood stars stayed at the resort hotels and the studios used the area for making movies. More land was subdivided as water sources were developed and homes continued to be built. During the years of World War II tourism and lot sales dwindled and finances began to trouble the Arrowhead Lake Company which ultimately went bankrupt.

In 1946, the owners of the Santa Anita Racetrack, the Los Angeles Turf Club, bought the lake and the surrounding properties. Although the Turf Club spent considerable amounts of money improving the lake and surrounding Arrowhead Woods, no lots were sold. Generous donations of land were made though to various organizations such as the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, San Bernardino County and several more. The North Shore Tavern was donated to the University of California.
