Learn more about Lake Elsinore

This shimmering lake transforms into a wildflower paradise each spring when poppies blanket the surrounding hills. Visitors can water ski across the glassy surface, catch a Storm baseball game, or hike the trails for panoramic views of Southern California's largest natural freshwater lake.

“But pleasures are like poppies spread,
You seize the flower, it's bloom is shed;
Or, like the snow-fall in the river,
A moment white, then melts forever.”

~Robert Burns

I went in search of meadows with purple flowers among the orange poppies and was rewarded with this ~ a ring of yellow mustards. And a contrasting sky with rain clouds to the south. 

Due to the recent winter rains in Southern California, hillsides are bursting  with colors of wildflowers. These hills especially are covered with mostly the poppies-California Flower. Soon the hills will turn brown unless we get more rains. Visitors are flocking to these hills by the thousands these past few weeks to witness this amazing phenomenon!

Hope you enjoy!
