Lake Perris.
Lake Perris has two designated swim areas Moreno Beach accessed through lots 8,9,10 and Perris Beach that is accessed through lots 1 through 4. Lifeguards are on duty in those areas daily during the summer and on weekends in spring and fall. We encourage all swimmers to swim in front of the Lifeguard and to swim parallel to the shoreline. Scuba diving is allowed at Perris Beach on the west end at lots 1 through 4. There are changing rooms, showers and restrooms located behind towers 2 and 4. There are picnic areas that are also near the beach.
SCUBA Diving is allowed at the swim beach at Lots 1-4. Lake Perris does not rent SCUBA gear.
The Marina rents water skis, wake boards, knee boards and ski vests. More information about the Marina is available in the Boating and Watercraft link and at 951-657-2179

One of our greatest secrets is Big Bear Lake! I hadn’t been there in a long time, so I was totally blown away with how gorgeous it is, and the lake is totally open and beautiful!
There are all types of camping in the area, as well as hotel/cabins. The lake is open to all sorts of water sports, as well as swimming.
Big Bear is an easy drive from the L. A. area and is a nice break from the heat and smog of the city.
Check it out! I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised!
Happy Travels!
