Pfäffikersee (or "Lake Pfäffikon") is a lake in the canton of Zurich, Switzerland, near the town of Pfäffikon. It is 2.5 km long and 1.3 km wide at the middle. The lake was created in the last ice age when a morraine blocked off the ability for the lake to empty north towards Winterthur. There is also a trail around the lake that people often bike and walk on, and the area is considered protected lands.
