Just about an hour’s distance from the city of Los Angeles is the hotspot of activity—Lake Elsinore. Ranging from a thriving culinary scene to a myriad of opportunities for outdoor adventure, this city attracts plenty of tourists. Not only this, but Lake Elsinore’s year-round pleasant weather is also one of its biggest draws. While skydiving, hang gliding, water skiing, hiking, and biking are popular things to do for adrenaline junkies, a stroll down the city’s historic downtown district or Lake Elsinore Town Square is well worth it too. Add to that are the local festivals and cultural events that contribute to Lake Elsinore’s appeal. Excited to book a trip here soon? For a place to stay, check out our list of the best Airbnb vacation rentals in Lake Elsinore, California.
