The tight-knit community of Pflugerville loves spending time at the 180-acre Lake Pflugerville. Built to serve as the city's water reservoir, Lake Pflugerville gives families ample space and opportunity to enjoy the outdoors. The lake plays host to a three-mile jogging/walking path, boat launch, and pavilion. Sadly, motorized boats aren't permitted, but the environmentally-friendly pedal boats, canoes, and kayaks find plenty of time on these local waves.

Does Dad love fishing trips? Well, fishing is allowed at Lake Pflugerville. According to Texas Law, anyone under the age of 16 doesn't need to have a fishing license, so bring out the family for a picnic or sunbathe on the gem of a beach.

Oh, how much do you love town festivals? The Spring Pfling promotes this city's multiple parks at Heritage Park with a petting-zoo for children, live dancers, and countless artisan vendors. During the summer, local farmers showcase their produce at the Pfarmer's market every Sunday. Before you make plans on for the weekend, head over to Pfluger Park for Music In The Park every other week. Local vendors start selling their creations an hour before the show starts. Good news! Pets are always welcome to attend in the festivities.
