Lake Norconian - Riverside County, California


On 1/2/18 during a visit to proctor examinations for work I visited the Riverside area of South California.  I visited several lakes in the area.  This picture below was taken just outside the entrance gate on the east side of the military base gate.  I drove up to the gate and asked permission to go inside to just take a picture of the lake and he said, “Access Denied”!  So, I will not be able to provide a picture of the lake that I have taken personally, but I took a picture of the front gate sign.  At an elevation of 657 feet above sea level, Lake Norconian, is an artificial lake, in Norco, Riverside County, California.  This lake is very shallow and is only 16 feet at the deepest point.  Lake Norconian was created in the early 1920s as part of the Norconian Resort. This 60-acre lake was equipped with a boat house and beautiful Pavilion. It was the site where a few 1930's movies were filmed. Acquired with the resort by the U. S. Navy in 1941, the lake is now part of the Naval Surface Warfare Assessment Center.
