Lake Perris

Lake Perris is an artificial lake that is the southern terminus of the California State Water Project. At less than 70 miles from home we decided that we had to visit and explore. After an easy 1+hr drive, we arrived early in the morning to this view in our new campsite for the evening.

After setting things up, we had to check out the lake and discovered that this was the best fresh water swimming we have experienced so far in SoCal. It was cool and clean and very refreshing.

 

 

 Swimming completed, we headed back to our campsite for Brooke's nap.

This amazing girl of ours adapts so well to our camping excursions, we are so lucky to have such a versatile child. Brooke's sleeping allowed us to enjoy our thing.

 

I had to take a picture of our awesome "Supervan" as well



After nap time it was time to explore.

 

We then headed down to the boat launch area for some beautiful views.

A little dinner cooked on the fire followed by an evening movie (that Brooke had no interest in watching) and our day was done.

Although this was a short one day trip, it was still quite enjoyable and we will most likely be returning to Lake Perris again.
