Lake Mathews CA

*Update! The water levels have drastically declined over the past couple of years, but it recently has been filled. Lake Mathews supplies fresh water for some neighboring areas; the lake is not open for use of boating, fishing, recreational activities, etc. Lake Mathews has an amazing, beautiful view from the hilltop Lake Hills community in nearby Riverside. See photos from both before the lake was filled, with the low water levels, and after the lake was filled…super filled!

I’ve lived in this community for 8 years and it is truly a beautiful and preserved hidden gem that is nestled between the cities of Riverside and Corona. Cajalco Rd is the main road and a great backroad to escape the 91 Freeway traffic and it is far away from all the freeway and city pollution but still close to grocery stores, libraries, shops, etc. On one side of Cajalco you can see the beautiful blue Lake Mathews and on the other you can see the custom million dollar homes that are built on the Gavilan Hills. The residents are friendly and very determined to keep the area rural and make sure the very few tract homes that are built are on large lots and are equestrian zoned. The homes in the area are mostly custom and the tract homes are beautiful and none of them look alike which is rare in the Inland Empire. 40 minutes to Disneyland, 1 hour to Los Angeles, 1 hour to San Diego. 30m to wine tasting in Temecula. 1hr to the beach. A quick 8 mile trip down the canyon and you will find Dos Lagos in Corona which includes over 20 restaurants and lounges with wine tasting, and steak houses. The Tyler Mall in Riverside is also 8 miles away which includes Nordstrom, Macys, and an AMC Theater. This is a great place to live with a great school district and I’m proud to call Gavilan Hills/Lake Mathews home.

You can't swim, boat or fish in this lake but i am going to give it 5 stars because is it a well protected water supply for the inland empire. The lake always appears to be clean and well protected. The roads around the lake are not been covered in trash or weeds so it looks to be well kept and in good management.
