"The wakeboard cable is the real deal. I used to drive to Folsom or Sacramento for water sports. Now I just hop up I-5 for 15 minutes. No comparison."

Common questions from Dixon visitors
Does Dixon have a water park?
No. The closest full-feature water park to Dixon is Velocity Island Park in Woodland, about 15 minutes up I-80 East to I-5 North (Exit 536). It is one of the shortest drives of any community in the region, closer than most Sacramento neighborhoods.
Is it worth the short drive for just a few hours?
Yes. Aqua park sessions run 50 minutes, so you can drive up for an afternoon and be home for dinner. With a 15-minute drive, plenty of Dixon families make it a weekly summer routine rather than a once-a-year trip.
Can we bring a group from Dixon?
Yes. Private beach sites hold up to 16 guests, and we run birthday and group packages at the aqua park, beach, and wakeboard cable. Reserve a site so your group has a home base for the day.
How early should we arrive on a weekend?
Weekend mornings are best. We open at 12pm Saturdays and Sundays in summer, so arriving near open gets you onto the aqua park before it fills up. Book your session time online ahead of the drive.
