About the Community of Canyon Lakes
If Canyon Lake had to be described in one word, that word would be unique. One of only five gated cities in California, Canyon Lake began as a master-planned community developed by Corona Land Company in 1968. The Lake originally was formed in 1927 after Railroad Canyon Dam was built. It covers 383 acres and has 14.9 miles of shoreline. The City of Canyon Lake was incorporated on December 1, 1990. The City has a population of 10,647 and geographically spans 4.6 square miles. Canyon Lake is located in Riverside County, which offers a growing job base, newly built designer homes and great schools.
Background Information
Would it interest residents to know that, in the fifteen year period between 2000 and 2015, the population group for ages 21-34 in Canyon Lake is projected to increase by more than 1,800 people? Or that, in 2010, approximately 35% of the households earned between $50,000 and $100,000? These are just two of the statistics listed in the May 2013“Profile of Canyon Lake” provided to the City by the Southern California Association of Government’s (SCAG) Regional Council.
Old Town Temecula
Located in the heart of Temecula, the Old Town district blends historic buildings with over 640 antique dealers, unique shopping, and restaurants. Old Town Temecula is the site of many special events including car shows, semi-annual Rod Runs, Western Days, and summer weekend entertainment. Take a jaunt in a horse-drawn carriage or stroll along the wooden boardwalks. Every Saturday, visit the popular Farmer’s Market which offers a wealth of fresh produce, flowers, and crafts. Tour the Temecula Valley Museum and discover the city’s historical treasures, enjoy the wacky inventor Professor Phineas Pennypickle’s home-workshop, at the Imagination Workshop Children’s Museum or experience an evening out at our Old Town Temecula Community Theater.
Wine Country
Less than 60 miles north of San Diego and 90 miles southeast of Los Angeles lies Temecula Valley Wine Country, the heart of California’s South Coast wine region. Rolling hills covered with vineyards, expansive views reaching to 11,000 foot high mountains, air swept by ocean breezes, and world-class wines make Temecula Valley Wine County a beautiful and fun area to visit.
These wineries produce award-winning wines made possible by a unique microclimate and well-drained granite soils. The 1500 foot elevation makes for cool summer nights, and delightful breezes come through the vineyards every afternoon throughout the summer.
