Lake Perris is Yak friendly. When you check in they will check you kayak for signs of muscles or standing water in the yak. They do that to all boats unless you have already been on a state park lake and have the lead seal. Once they inspect you kayak you will get an inspection sheet, pay your entry fee, $10, and go yaking. You can launch virtually anywhere you can get to. I go to sail beach because I can drive right to the water and launch. Parking is easy, big slots for vehicles pulling trailers. On weekends you have to watch for drunk boaters but it isn't a problem on weekdays, then you just have to watch out for boaters. I wear my fitbit and always get my steps, paddling gives you more than peddling. I also fish the bays and haven't had any salt issues. Fitbits just don't last for me because of my skin chemistry but my wife's never has any issues. I never go on weekends, I don't like crowds.
