Dixon Lake — Attraction in Escondido

We love it here! It’s easy to go to and we just pack a cooler, a pop-up tent, a table top grill some food and make a day out of it and do some fishing. It only cost five dollars to get in if you just wanna go relax out in nature Walk around have a picnic just hang out. If you want to fish, it’s 10 for adults and seven for children so it’s reasonable. We haven’t had much luck with the fish lately, so I’m not sure how often they stock but that’s the only thing that I would say is a bit frustrating because we haven’t caught much the last few times we’ve gone and neither have all the people around us.

There is a snack bar too.. All views look right down on Lake Dixon. A wonderful day away in...
