Tyler State Park
Welcome to Tyler State Park located in Tyler, Texas roughly halfway between Dallas/Fort Worth and Shreveport, Louisiana. This was one of many parks around the United States to have it's facilities built by the Civilian Conservation Corps during the Franklin Delano Roosevelt administration. There are over 13 miles of trails here just waiting to be explored.
Park History: Evidence suggests that humans first arrived in this region over 10,000 years ago. The first Europeans to arrive in the region were 17th century Spanish explorers. During the Civil War, the largest POW camp west of the Mississippi River was built in the region.
Motorized watercraft are allowed on the lake but there is a 5 mph speed limit. There are over 40 developed campsites. To contact the office please call 903-597-5338.
