Lake Hemet is surrounded by the majestic beauty of the San Jacinto Mountains. The scenery is breathtaking no matter which direction your gaze travels. Tall pines, manzanita trees, sage, and giant oaks abound. Remember to pack a camera and binoculars, and keep a watchful eye, as the Eagles are often seen soaring above and around the Campground. There are also plenty of Red Hawks soaring overhead throughout the Forest and Campground. Come and enjoy camping, fishing, boating and the breath-taking scenery all year round.
