Proximity to Lake Perris State Recreation Area
Lake Perris State Recreation Area, completed in 1973, is an artificial reservoir and state recreation area offering swimming, boating, fishing, rock climbing and horseback riding to visitors year-round.
Lake Perris is an artificial reservoir completed in 1973 as the southern terminus of the California State Water Project. The lake sits at 1,560 feet above sea level and impounds 131,400 acre-feet of water behind a chevron-shaped earthfill dam two miles long and 128 feet tall. A nine-mile paved loop road encircles the lake, with access points for the recreational activities the lake supports.
The State Recreation Area offers fishing, swimming in designated areas, boating, horseback riding, rock climbing, and picnicking year-round. The area hosts the annual Big Rock Triathlon at sprint and Olympic distances. More than 100 bird species inhabit the area, and the lake contains largemouth bass, rainbow trout, catfish and other fish species. During summer months, the park is very crowded, with boating permitted from 6:00 am to 6:00 pm daily.
For Perris families, Lake Perris is a place traditions get built: summer days with children, weekend hikes, community events. The people and households you plan to provide for are the ones who make those memories—which is why a term policy sized to protect that future matters.
