State Scenic Highway 215 refers to a Riverside County segment of Route 215 near Perris, distinct from the busier Interstate 215 freeway of the same number. The recognized stretch runs between State Route 74 near Romoland and State Route 74 near Perris, passing through open, sparsely developed land around Perris and the San Jacinto Valley, which has earned it a place on California's list of highways eligible for State Scenic Highway status even as the interstate bearing the same number nearby remains ordinary commuter infrastructure. As with most eligible routes, official designation has not followed, since that requires a local corridor protection plan from Riverside County and the surrounding jurisdictions. The area is popular with off-road recreation and has views toward the San Jacinto Mountains to the east.
