Lake Perris
State Water Project terminal reservoir operated as Lake Perris State Recreation Area by California State Parks, with public launches, a marina, rentals, and slips.
Lake Perris is the southernmost reservoir on the State Water Project, operated as Lake Perris State Recreation Area (SRA) by California State Parks in Riverside County. It supports motorized and non-motorized boating with multiple launch ramps, a marina concession, rentals, and slip storage. Boating is subject to daily capacity, size, and speed rules set by State Parks and to vessel-inspection procedures.
Location & official information
Motorized and non-motorized boating
Motorized boating (including water skiing) and non-motorized craft are both permitted under State Parks rules. Vessel size, speed zones, and permitted uses are posted at the park.
Launch ramps, marina, and slips
The park has multiple launch ramps and a marina concession that manages rentals, slip storage, and support services. Reservations and capacity limits may apply on busy days.
Inspection and operating rules
State Parks enforces quagga/zebra mussel inspection and clean-drain-dry procedures for trailered vessels. Confirm current requirements before towing.
Riverside County context
Located in Riverside County near the 215/60 corridor, Perris is one of the more accessible large boating lakes for the Inland Empire. Summer weekend demand is significant.
Fishing and water recreation
The lake supports bass and other warm-water fisheries, designated swim areas, and camping in the SRA. See the State Parks page for current rules and closures.
Boat-owner care considerations
Hot inland sun and dust are the dominant exposure. Slip-kept boats need UV-focused maintenance; trailered boats benefit from a post-use rinse before spotting sets.

Access, inspection, water quality, capacity, and operating conditions can change. Always confirm current information with the operating agency linked above before planning a trip.
Frequently asked questions
Does listing here mean the harbor endorses Boat Detailing LA?
No. Directory pages are editorial context for boat owners. We are not affiliated with any marina, harbor, harbor district, or yacht club unless we explicitly say so, and no listing implies endorsement, partnership, or preferred-vendor status.
Do you service boats at this location?
In most cases, yes — service is confirmed by the boat’s exact slip or storage location and the marina’s vendor-access rules. We coordinate access after your estimate request and before scheduling anything on the dock.
Where does the information on this page come from?
Facts on this page come from the operating agency’s official website (linked below). We only publish details we can verify from an authoritative public source, and we mark when the record was last reviewed.
Can I keep a boat in a slip at Lake Perris?
Yes. The marina concession offers slip storage at Lake Perris SRA. Availability and rates are set by the concessionaire — check the park page for current contact info.
Is there a capacity limit?
State Parks manages daily boating capacity at Lake Perris. On busy summer days the ramp can be limited or closed early.
