Tyler State Park

Tyler State Park is a 1,711-acre protected area in Bucks County featuring trails through woodlands and meadows crossed by Neshaminy Creek. The space is divided into sections with different uses: hiking and biking paths, horseback riding routes, fishing spots, and a 36-hole disc golf course.

The land became a state park in 1974 and protects the Schofield Ford Covered Bridge, built in 1874. The bridge was fully reconstructed in 1997 after decades of wear, making it one of the park's most visible historical remnants.

The Spring Garden Mill houses a theater group, while a converted barn now hosts arts programming, showing how old structures have become gathering places for performances and creative events.

Different sections are designed for specific activities, so it helps to plan ahead depending on whether you want to hike, bike, ride horses, or play disc golf. The park has multiple entry points and facilities scattered throughout, so knowing what you want to do first makes navigation easier.

The park maintains its original farm layout while seamlessly adding modern recreation spaces like the disc golf course, showing how contemporary activities can coexist with historical structures. Visitors often miss how intentionally the newer facilities blend into the older landscape design.
