Hiking
The Dixon Reservoir is a small body of water at the base of the foothills below Horsetooth Reservoir surrounded by a protected Natural Area. The reservoir is a great fishing spot where many fish are stocked annually including pumpkinseed sunfish, bluegill, bass, channel catfish, black crappy, and grass carp. In addition to fishing, you can swim at a small beach on its northwestern shore, take out non-motorized boats, and hike around the reservoir on an attractive 1.8 mile loop, which links up with other trails in the Pineridge Natural Area.

Mountain biking
This little reservoir is dwarfed by the nearby Horsetooth Reservoir. Still, Dixon is a fun destination in its own right with a non-motorized boat launch and some easy mountain biking trails. There is also good fishing here (check local regulations).
