Lake Arlington is a favorite destination for fishing, swimming, water recreation and just having some great fun in the North Texas sunshine. Also, the lake is a favorite of boaters as well; don't be surprised to see some impressive sails in the wind, as sailboats glide through the water, especially on weekends and holidays. Don't forget to bring your sunscreen!

The Arlington Historical Society is where the past is a present to the future. The staff works hard to continue to preserve the history, stories and events that have gone to shape the Arlington of today. One of Arlington's most historically significant sites is the Knapp Heritage Park. Located in downtown Arlington, this structure offers a glimpse at pioneer life. The park consists of a one-room schoolhouse, a one-room cabin, a dog trot cabin and the Bardin barn. Be sure to look for the general store in James Knapp's law office, as it is a recognized landmark from the Arlington Preservation Society.
