In order to help meet a portion of the Department wide $11 million reduction this 2011/12 fiscal year, and a $22 million reduction in fiscal year 2012/13 as outlined in AB 95, which was passed by the Legislation and signed into law by Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. in March 2011, several Inland Empire State Park units will be implementing a Service Reduction Plan. In order to realize significant savings to help meet this budget reduction while limiting impacts to the many visitors who enjoy our local State Parks, various weekday park closures will occur starting October 1, 2011.
All vessels entering Lake Perris SRA will be inspected for standing water and Quagga mussels. We do not want you to fail this free inspection. Please click this link for details on how you can ensure that your vessel will pass.
