Visitors and locals need never wonder what to do; with our active community event calendar, there’s always something going on in Lufkin!

If the outdoors is your thing, Lufkin boasts gorgeous nature: hiking and biking trails, parks, and more. If you would rather shop than hike, Lufkin has a wide variety

of shopping options, from fun flea market finds all the way to high-end merchandise. For our business travelers, Lufkin has different options to accommodate meetings of all sizes. There are also lots of attractions for the kids, including the Ellen Trout Zoo, with nearly 800 wild and exotic creatures from all over the world. Children and adults alike will love riding the pre-Civil War replica train around the zoo and lake.

A growing retirement population is developing here, and many are choosing Lufkin as the location to enjoy their retirement. Lake Sam Rayburn is the ideal place to fish or enjoy the water.
