Slightly off the beaten path, Lake Pflugerville is a great place to escape to for a suburban beach adventure. There is a small pebble beach and swimming area, and kids can swim in a roped-off area.

Lake Buchanan has many lakeside cottages and homes available to rent. There are three parks on the lake: Cedar Point Recreation Area, Black Rock Park, and Canyon of the Eagles. There is even a winery, Fall Creek Winery, the oldest winery in the Texas Hill Country.
Lake days are the essence of summer. So, take your pick of any of these local lakes, and enjoy a day in the sun and out on the water.
