Unless you are really close to it, generally people make the trek to Elsinore.

Perris is a puddle right now and has been for a long time while they mess with the dam.  The area that is 5 mph is bigger than the area that is 35 mph.  Nice ramp but you will have to go through a Q mussel inspection which I have failed more often than passed.  The people you will be sharing the beach with at Elsinore will generally be a bit easier to get along with too most likely.

We are in Menifee so either is simple, but anyhow, after doing Perris again today I think we are going back to Elsinore for good.  Aside from the ridiculous water conditions, we anchored at a spot near the water tower on the far side and found out first hand the leech rumor is true.  nasty ass little bastards all over the feet from just walking around in the shallows for a few minutes.  that combined with the current tiny size of the 'lake' and the rough water, its just not worth it anymore.  used to be worth it for the clean water but I will take the shit visibility of elsinore to not have blood suckers on mine and my ladies legs ever again....

I will say the water at Elsinore has been getting better the past few years, even with the water level being low.

We used refer to Perris as diaper lake.
People don't know how to throw their trash away
Perris was decent back I'm the late 80s
I won't go back now
Elsinore is cool
Green but cool

Great info......not into leeches at all.  Green water is good I will continue with Elsinore for local outings.

Was talking to a guy on Saturday. Said he won't go back to Perris after his daughter ended up with leaches on her legs.

I'll stick with the green waters of Elsinore.
