Whenever we are craving a trip to the beach, we love to head to Lake Pflugerville for a swim! This park has something for everyone, including a 180-acre reservoir for swimming and a three-mile trail for walking or jogging.
The boys were very interested in this unusual playscape feature.
We walked to the lakeshore to take a look around.
The sand made it feel like we were at the beach!
The boys couldn’t resist wading into the water.
If you plan on staying for a while, make sure you bring chairs, pop up shade canopies, lunches, beach toys, etc.
The lake isn’t just for swimming. There were windsurfers, kayakers and SUP riders too.
If you don’t have your own equipment, you can rent it on site!
Lake Pflugerville Park also has a pavilion with tables to enjoy your snacks or meal.
