Canyon Lake is one of California's Best Kept Secret! It is centrally located between Corona and Temecula, and is close to both the I-15 and I-215 freeway. The quickest way to get to Canyon Lake from the I-15 fwy. is to exit Railroad Canyon and go East. Canyon Lake began as a Master-Planned Community developed by Corona Land Company in 1968. The Lake originally was formed in 1927 after Railroad Canyon Dam was built. Just seven and a half miles to the east is the exclusive community of Canyon Lake. It sits in the southwest quadrant of Riverside County, approximately twenty minutes north of the burgeoning wine village of Temecula. As one of only five truly gated cities in California, Canyon Lake is a private community covering 383- acres along nearly fifteen miles of shoreline.
The community nestles around the shoreline of the lake; it's not possible to be far from the water anywhere in Canyon Lake. There is an 18-hole golf course, an equestrian center, tennis courts, numerous parks and beaches, a campground and other amenities that cater virtually any kind of activity that sun and water can provide. Canyon Lake is both a city and a corporation of property owners. The city is responsible for the health, safety and welfare of its residents, including police and fire protection, waste management, animal control and maintenance of public roads, such as Railroad Canyon and Goetz Roads. The Property Owners Association (POA) is responsible for the operation of activities within the gates, including rules and regulations, architectural guidelines, maintenance of private streets and amenities, and security.
Residences in Canyon Lake range from unique executive custom beauties to affordable family homes. The community's approx. 11,000 residents find many of the services they require right across the street from the main gate in the neighboring office/retail center. There you will find such service-related businesses as accountants, attorneys and doctors, as well as a market, dry cleaner, several restaurants and retail stores. City Hall and the Property Owners Association offices are located in the same area. Other businesses can be found near the East gate, where there are gasoline pumps, a mini-market and several services businesses.
Canyon Lake is accessible only to residents and their visitors. All necessary services are located on the outer edge of either the East or South Gates. Residents are considered shareholders of this town corporation, and the local Property Owners Association is responsible for day to day operations, including architectural guidelines, street maintenance and security.
