“boat, fish, swim in the lake”

At Tyler State Park, you can boat, fish, swim in the lake, mountain bike, picnic, geocache, camp, bird watch and study nature. Whether you visit for an afternoon or a weekend, you will find plenty to do here. Explore the Pineywoods on more than 13 miles of trails. Don’t miss the Whispering Pines Nature Trail, laid out more than 70 years ago by the Civilian Conservation Corps. Fish our lake for crappie, perch, catfish or bass. The park has three fishing piers 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.

This park is very nice. Our site was level for our truck camper, and had electric and water. Coming in after hours was no problem. We finished the paperwork in the morning and the online reservation system was fairly easy to use. We hope to come here again to enjoy the lake and more bike trails.

Bike trails were closed following some pretty wet weather but we enjoyed our overnight in one of the cabins!

Took a day trip here. Great easy hike around the lake (2.1mi) and on the CCC trail near the entrance. Kids enjoyed finding lots of pine cones. The campgrounds looked great with 1st class views and shade. We will probably come back to camp and rent a canoe or paddle boat. I might even sneak away to hit the single track mountain bike trails that some fellas said were great challenges.
