State Route 371 (SR 371) is a state highway in the U.S. state of California, serving as a short connector from SR 79 near Aguanga to SR 74 near Anza. It is a heavily used shortcut from southwestern Riverside County to the Coachella Valley via SR 74. This was part of SR 71 until 1973, when SR 79 and SR 71 were co-signed from Aguanga to Temecula. In 1974, the portion of SR 71 from Temecula to Corona along I-15's current alignment was deleted and the orphaned route from Aguanga to Anza was re-signed as SR 371.
SR 371 is the main highway crossing through the communities of Anza and Aguanga and connects both towns. SR 371 crosses through the private community of Lake Riverside, as well as the Cahuilla Indian Reservation. It is one of the most populated roads running through the town of Anza but mostly runs through rural areas. The highway is often plagued by shutdowns due to snow, ice, wind, and wildfires, which occasionally causes the closing of the local schools.
SR 371 begins as Cahuilla Road at the intersection with SR 79. It travels northeast away from the community of Aguanga, loosely paralleling Tule Creek for the first few miles. SR 371 continues through the Lake Riverside community, crossing over the outflow of Lake Riverside. The highway enters the Cahuilla Indian Reservation and passes by the Cahuilla Creek Casino in Cahuilla before passing through the community of Anza. SR 371 briefly becomes Kenworthy Bautista Road and parallels Hamilton Creek as it enters the San Bernardino National Forest before terminating at SR 74.
