We had heard great things from friends about this State park, so we were excited and ready to explore it.

We went on a day trip with the kids, but you also have the option to stay the night in the park’s campsites, cabins, or screened shelters.

Cabins fit up to eight people and fees per night are from $18 -$30 with a two or three-night minimum plus entrance fee.

Tyler State Park is a great place with a lot of big trees, a very nice lake where you can do different activities and 13 miles of trails for hiking or biking.

You can visit it for a day or spend a weekend in some of its camping spaces or cabins.

We walked along two trails, there were very tall pines, birds like cardinals and carpenters, different types of fungi, ponds, and a small waterfall.

After walking, we jumped in the lake and later we made a picnic in the sandy beach by the lake.

There were many people swimming in the lake. There is a store where you can buy souvenirs, books, snacks, fish bait and more.

The park has a boat ramp and there are canoes, kayaks, pedal boats and fishing equipment available for rent. You can also bring your own boat.

We rented two pedal boats for an hour for $15 each. After that, my kids were fishing from one of the three park’s fishing piers.
