ATTENTION WATERFOWL HUNTERS
After review of the waterfowl habitat at Lake Perris the Department of Fish and Game has canceled waterfowl hunting until further notice due to a lack of habitat for the waterfowl that will not allow for a successful season.  As habitat changes in the upcoming years and cover for the waterfowl grows around the new shoreline, Fish and Game will reevaluate the hunting area for future hunting seasons.
