Tranquil Haven in the Pines

Tyler State Park features a cool, 64-acre spring-fed lake, 100-foot tall trees, and historic structures. Play at the lake, wet a hook, wander through the woods, or relax with your binoculars. You will love this peaceful get-away in Northeast Texas!

Things to Do

At Tyler State Park, you can boat, fish, swim in the lake, hike, mountain bike, picnic, camp, bird watch and study nature. Whether you visit for an afternoon or a weekend, you will find plenty to do here.

Explore

Experience the Pineywoods on more than 13 miles of trails. Don’t miss the Whispering Pines Nature Trail, laid out more than 85 years ago by the Civilian Conservation Corps. Take a virtual tour with our Interactive Trails Map.

Fish

Anglers try for crappie, perch, catfish or bass in our lake. The park has one fishing pier and a boat ramp. We also loan fishing rods, reels and tackle boxes as part of TPWD’s Tackle Loaner Program. Remember, you do not need a fishing license to fish from shore in a state park!

You can rent a boat here or bring your own. We allow motors, but have a 5 mph speed limit.

Stay

...overnight at the park:

• Campsites—ranging from water only to full hookups.
• Cabins
• Screened shelters

Before jumping in the lake, read through our swimming safety tips.
