Probably don't want to go to Perris right now. The water is waaay down to repair the dam. There is much more 5mph zone than the rest of the lake. I might be going out to Elsie on Sunday but not sure yet. I'll keep ya in mind.

Ditto on Elsinore Marina. Look for big white wall directly across from Lake High School (I think). It is just about the last thing before you make the big left sweeper which will have you running along the Ortega mtns and the backside of the lake. The earlier you get there the better you will like it. Before 6am is NOT too early. Be careful not to back truck in more than necessary as ramp is VERY slick. At the opposite end of the lake is a small cove where all the bikinis n boat sodas take place. Just do as the ramp nazis tell you to and all will be cool, these guys have no tolerance for anyone who doesn't get with their "system" at the ramp.
Oh yeah - DON'T DRINK THE WATER.

Join us at Lake Hodges; it's easy to get to from OC and from what we've read, etc, it should be better than Perris/Elsinore (if you're not getting in the water; which we're not on this trip):

From what I understand, it's only $5 per boat (no per person charge).

road to apache is what makes it great, not alot of people willing to travel it, been going there for about 32yrs, went over the 4th with the aunts boat and damn near nobody on the water, was there all week and never got crowded

Yeah but we only have to deal with 120 degrees when we go to the river; otherwise it's 85 average

flytime, wanabe, and myself are goin to hodges....its only a little further down the 15 into north SD....$5 per boat to launch....plus elsinore sucks!

« **Reply #21 on:** July 21, 2007, 04:11:44 PM »

drive another 15 mins and go to el cap, much better lake!!!

« **Reply #22 on:** July 21, 2007, 05:01:44 PM »

From what I've been reading El Capitan doesn't allow swimming/body contact. San Vicente is the only lake that offers boating and water contact. Is San Vicente over-run with lake lice or wake boarders? Why El Capitan?

Obviously I haven't been to either one and would like to find a place better than Elsinore/Parris to take the boat without having to drive to the river, and Mentone Beach just doesn't cut it

« **Reply #23 on:** July 21, 2007, 05:58:53 PM »

So can I swim at hodges or what ? A text will suffice .
