Lake Elsinore travel guide
Do
In the spring, Lake Elsinore can be a convenient place for daytrippers to see wild poppies and other wildflowers, especially when the winter months have been rainy. However, it was so crowded during the popular 2016 and 2019 "superblooms", that the flowers were trampled and the traffic brought the city to a standstill. As a result, in 2023, the city closed its public parks and all parking lots near the wildflowers, and also stepped up traffic and parking enforcement, in an effort to discourage visitors. If you go, be sure that you are not damaging the environment or parking illegally.
Eat
Guadalajara Mexican Restaurant, 105 North Main St. Eat authentic grilled Mexican food in historic downtown Elsinore, with an intimate setting and live mariachi band on some nights. Favorites include the enchilada del mar, albondigas, and a Cadillac margarita.
