Vail Lake is a reservoir located near Temecula, California. The lake was created in the 1940s by the Vail family as a water source for their citrus and avocado orchards. Today, the lake serves as a popular recreational destination for fishing, boating, and camping. The hydrology of the lake is primarily fed by the San Jacinto River and local runoff, and the lake is managed by the Rancho California Water District. The lake's surface flow is controlled by a dam, which also regulates the lake's water levels. The surrounding area is known for its vineyards and wine production, and the lake itself is home to a variety of fish species, including bass and catfish. In the winter months, the nearby mountains provide a snowpack that contributes to the lake's water supply.
