Mystic Lake is a seasonal lake in the San Jacinto Valley of western Riverside County, California. The lake's size can vary widely each year. The lake persists from one year to the next, and at other times it completely dissipates during the dry season. The Mystic Lake area attracts one of the most diverse populations of birds in the United States, with over 200 species identified.[1]
The lake is located east of the Lake Perris reservoir and the town of Lakeview, between the cities of Moreno Valley, to the north, and San Jacinto, to the south.[2] The town of Lakeview received its name for its proximity to Mystic Lake.[1]
