Dixon Reservoir, also known as Dixon Lake, is a small man-made reservoir in Escondido, California. It has been regularly noted to produce the largest kind of largemouth bass in the world.
Dixon Lake is considered a popular place for picnics, camping, and fishing. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife granted the lake an aquaculture permit; fishing licenses are no longer required. The city stocks different types of fish throughout the year, including bass, bluegill, carp, catfish, crappie, and trout.
