Tyler State Park

Tyler State Park is one of the most beautiful CCC-built parks in Texas, featuring a pristine 64-acre spring-fed lake surrounded by towering pine and hardwood forest. The park's stone dam, bathhouse, and bridges are stunning examples of Depression-era craftsmanship. Swimming, paddling, fishing, and scenic trails make it a top East Texas destination.
