Snabba fakta: Spread across 90 acres in the California desert, this park offers three spring-fed lakes ideal for swimming and fishing. Over 100,000 visitors come each year to cool off in waters that stay a consistent 80 degrees Fahrenheit year-round.
Höjdpunkter: The park's largest lake, Paradise Lake, is fed by a natural hot spring that pumps 4 million gallons of crystal-clear, mineral-rich water daily. You can float weightlessly in the warm waters while looking up at the palm trees and distant San Jacinto Mountains.
Insidertips
- Bring water shoes as the lake bottoms can be a bit rocky near the shorelines.
- Arrive before 10 AM on weekends to avoid long entry lines and full parking lots.
- Pack an inflatable float or kayak; the spring-fed lakes have calm waters perfect for lazy floating.
- Skip the middle lake and head straight to Paradise Lake for the warmest, clearest swimming water.
