Lake Norconian is an artificial lake in Norco, Riverside County, California.[1]
Lake Norconian was created in the early 1920s as part of the Norconian Resort. This 60-acre (24-hectare) lake was equipped with a boat house and pavilion. It was the site where a few 1930s movies were filmed.
The lake and resort were acquired by the US Navy in 1941; the area is operated as Naval Surface Warfare Center Corona, part of the Naval Surface Warfare Center.[3]
