Dixon
Lake
Dixon Lake is a small climbing area located
next to the Lake Dixon reservoir in the North San Diego County
town of Escondido. Its short five minute approach makes it a
popular spot for those who don't have all day to devote to climbing.
The granite boulders hold mostly boulder and top rope climbs,
but there are a few short leads. Gear may be required to set
up some of the top rope problems. Climbing at Dixon consists
of cracks and steep faces. There may be a small fee to enter
this city park.
