Hike the Anza Trail through Moreno Valley in Riverside County, CA. This segment is located on the ancestral lands of the Luiseno, Tongva, and Cahuilla people, and it falls between historic Anza expedition campsites #58 and #59. 

This 8-mile certified trail starts at Towngate Memorial Park and ends at Lake Perris State Recreation Area. The multi-use paved path is flat and good for walking, jogging, and biking. It has lighting in some areas and would take roughly 2-4 hours to complete by foot.

At the trailhead, Towngate Memorial Park offers parking, multi-use athletic fields, ADA-accessible parking, picnic tables, ADA-accessible restrooms, a softball/baseball field, ADA-accessible playground, and a picnic shelter.

At the end of the trail, Lake Perris offers hiking, bicycling, fishing, swimming, picnicking, camping, rock climbing, horse-back riding, and the Ya’i Heki’ Regional Indian Museum. There is a fee for entrance to the lake.
