Lake Pflugerville is one of the best outdoor spots in Central Texas — a beautiful 3.1-mile trail loop around a 180-acre reservoir that draws walkers, runners, kayakers, and families year-round. After working up an appetite on the trail, here's where to eat nearby.

FM 685 runs right alongside the lake area and is lined with dining options within a short drive of the trailhead.
Golden Chick
A Texas fast-food institution, Golden Chick on W. Pecan is one of the closest quick-service options to the lake. Their golden tenders and rolls are satisfying post-hike fuel.
