Tyler State Park, State park in Smith County, Texas

Tyler State Park is a 985.5-acre state park in Smith County, north of Tyler, Texas. Its 64-acre lake, built by Civilian Conservation Corps Company 2888, is ringed by shortleaf and loblolly pines, the tallest trees in the park. Trails include a 2.5-mile hiking trail, a 13-mile mountain bike trail and a 0.75-mile nature trail, plus an amphitheater on the lake shore.

The land was deeded to the state by private owners in 1934 and 1935, and Civilian Conservation Corps Company 2888 made the original improvements. The park opened in 1939.

The park's name comes from nearby Tyler, the Smith County seat about 14 km to the south. CCC Company 2888 built the original improvements, and the park opened in 1939. Visitors today camp, swim at an unsupervised lake area, and rent canoes, kayaks and paddle boats from a seasonal store that also sells fishing supplies.
