Jack Creek Falls at Lake Dixon, 1700 North La Honda
Dr., Escondido, Ca, planted by Don and Gwen
Park Hours are 6:00 A.M. to 7:30 P.M., no pets, very nice picnic/BBQ
area under sheltered structures, plus a nice grassy area for the young
ones to play, boat rentals available for trout and bass fishing, but no swimming
or wading. $1.00 entrance fee
on weekends.No fee during the week.
Directions: From interstate 15 take El Norte Parkway exit.
Drive 3 miles east and turn north on La Honda Dr. to the Dixon Lake entrance on
the right.
Park in the hilltop picnic area just inside
entrance.
Clues: From the parking area find the large
grassy, open amphitheater area on the south
of restrooms. Head to the south east corner and go down the trail,
heading east. Turn right (south) at the first trail and pass by a cave
like rock overhang. Go 30 paces to rock # 4 and 18 paces to rock #
5. Continue 1 1/2 paces past rock # 5 and turn west up the
embankment about 12 feet to the continuation of the boulder cluster from
the # 5 rock. Look to the right between 3 boulders and under moveable
rocks . This site is listed in California Waterfalls by Ann
Marie Brown, Foghorn Press, 1997. If you want to check out
waterfalls in California get a copy of this book. Best time to visit the
"falls" is just after rain in the winter/spring time.
