Lake Perris is a popular boating destination in Southern California. All kinds of boating are permitted on the lake, but there are a number of regulations with which you will want to be familiar before launching your boat. See Boating Regulations.
Because of potential seismic safety risk in a section of the foundation of the Lake Perris Dam, a major retrofit of the dam was initiated and completed in 2018. Water levels have since been returned to normal.
