Fact text

  • Lake Elsinore was named after the Danish city Helsingør, the very castle town featured in Shakespeare's *Hamlet*, and Helsingør is now its official sister city.
  • Dracula himself (actor Bela Lugosi) built a vacation home in Lake Elsinore, and it still stands today in the Country Club Heights district.
  • During World War II, Lake Elsinore's water was used to test seaplanes, making the scenic resort lake a surprise military testing ground.
  • The lake has dramatically dried up and refilled multiple times throughout history, going bone-dry in the mid-1930s before bouncing back by 1938.
