Tenaja Falls 7 3 10
Long drive out to this swimmin hole near Lake Elsinore. After the spring rains this hole is finally deep enough to swim. Water is flowing barely above a trickle but enough to keep the water from stagnating. Came in with Throb, The Pump, Deep Float, B-Ram and Necknerd. There was a family down there partying and playing music pretty loud but they were chill. Hike in is 0.7 miles up a hill but not too strenuous. If you see any newts don’t touch them, they will die when they come in contact with human hand oils.
Directions: Take the 15 south from Lake Elsinore and go right on Clinton Keith. Drive till you get to Tenaja Rd and go right. Drive 5.2 miles to the trailhead on the left. Post your Forest Adventure Pass.
I like Tenaja Falls. I almost took a big spill on that polished granite.
that granite is some of the slickest around. ive fallen a few times on it luckily not with camera in hand.
