Lake Elsinore, Recreational lake city in Riverside County, California, US
Lake Elsinore covers 43 square miles of land and water, featuring a natural freshwater lake spanning 3,000 acres in western Riverside County.
The Luiseño people first inhabited the area until Spanish Franciscan padre Juan Santiago documented the lake during his 1797 exploration from Mission San Juan Capistrano.
The city name originates from Helsingør, Denmark, drawing inspiration from the setting of William Shakespeare's play Hamlet.
The Lake Elsinore Diamond stadium serves as a sports venue and hosts the Lake Elsinore Storm minor league baseball team throughout the season.
Water levels in Lake Elsinore fluctuate extensively, leading to the installation of an advanced aeration system in 2007 to maintain the lake's ecological balance.
