Information: The scenic lands comprising Lake Arrowhead were originally at the heart of the native Cherokee Indian nation. The Cherokee were a highly civilized and peaceful people who farmed and hunted in the beautiful lands now comprising Lake Arrowhead. The Cherokee were among the first tribe to have a written language and were highly literate for the times. Their unfortunate forced exile in 1838 from their ancestral lands, known as the ‘Trail of Tears,’ is truly a black mark on American history.
