Tyler State Park

This 985-acre natural area includes a 64-acre spring-fed lake surrounded by tall pine trees, offering multiple recreational spaces for outdoor activities.

The Civilian Conservation Corps constructed the park's fundamental structures, roads, and lake during the 1930s as part of President Roosevelt's New Deal program.

Rangers conduct educational programs throughout the year, teaching participants about local wildlife, survival techniques, and traditional outdoor cooking methods.

The park requires a daily entrance fee of 6 dollars per person over 13 years old, with facilities open from 8 AM until 10 PM.

The park maintains a free Tackle Loaner Program where visitors can borrow complete fishing equipment sets without requiring a fishing license from the shore.
