Lake Perris (Bernasconi Pass)

The Bernasconi Pass boat ramp at Lake Perris provides easy access to this popular recreation area for kayakers, canoeists, and motorized boaters. The ramp is located between parking lots 5 and 6, with ample space for launching non-powered vessels like kayaks and paddleboards from the adjacent Sail Cove area.

Lake Perris is a large reservoir covering over 8,000 acres, offering plenty of room to explore by boat or paddle craft. Anglers should be aware that fishing is prohibited from the launch ramp, courtesy dock, and designated swim areas. A valid California fishing license is required to fish elsewhere on the lake. Motorized vessels, sailboats, canoes, and kayaks are all permitted on the water, making this a versatile destination for a variety of boating activities. Visitors are encouraged to check the California State Parks website for current information about hours, fees, and lake conditions before their visit.
