    Always love coming to this park. A lot of parking lots to find parking but if it's a nice weekend (summer) you better get here early because you will not find any or will be closed due to no spots. Go through the main entrance hit stop sign make a right go all the way down the road to last parking lot. This is where you should start. Canoe rentals, water fall (small) food stand, grills and tables. Good paved trails all through out with off the beaten path trails all over. If you are on the off path just watch for horses that people ride in the park. Me I enjoy walking the trails to photograph the wildlife. IG: adileon0125

    I’m going to share a more specific location at Tyler Park. Fisherman Lot which is across the street from the Spring Garden Mill. They used to turn the mill into a haunted house for Halloween when I was growing up. The lot is not paved and does not have bathrooms. It does have a trash can which is great as my dogs love to go right when we first start our hikes. There are a few picnic tables in a grassy area. The grass is high and my son had a tick on his leg just from walking through. We started on the main paved path but there is another trail option right from the lot that isn’t paved. Once you’ve walked a bit you have directional options. I always have my son choose and check his compass to let us know the direction we’ll be heading. We wound up on the cliff side of the creek, opposite side of the main lots with the bathrooms and playground. The few people we passed, as it was early, were people out for a walk to get exercise. We were able to locate some actual trails so we could get our hike on. Once in the woods we were met with beautiful moss covered rocks and frog hopped out in front of us at one point. I know there are snakes in the rockier areas. Fortunately for me we didn’t come across any. In short for people out for exercise or to walk your dog you have nice paved paths. If you want to go off these paths to hike you have options. All will eventually lead you back to the main paved path. If you are heading into the wooden areas I recommend hiking shoes. Also, if you don’t want to deal with the nonsense of the main lots by the dam, this is a great option.

    People are friendly. Very scenic. Lots of little trails. Plus a frisbee game thing that is through out which was really cool.

    Tyler State Park is an absolute gem of a destination nestled in the heart of Newtown, Pennsylvania. The park boasts an incredible array of recreational activities, including hiking and biking trails, fishing, boating, and even horseback riding. The scenery is simply stunning, with picturesque rolling hills, tranquil lakes, and beautiful forests just waiting to be explored. But it's not just the natural beauty that makes Tyler State Park so special. The park is incredibly well-maintained and clean, with plenty of amenities to make your visit comfortable and enjoyable. The picnic areas are perfect for a family outing, and the playgrounds are a hit with kids of all ages. For those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life, Tyler State Park is a true oasis. It's a place to relax, recharge, and reconnect with nature. Whether you're a seasoned hiker or just looking for a peaceful place to spend an afternoon, Tyler State Park is a must-visit destination. I highly recommend it!

    Nice state park with plenty of trails to explore. We had heard a lot about the covered bridge and took the lane 1 trail to the covered bridge. The trail took us 1 hour 45 minutes total but pretty easy and doable. The trail is bike/ car friendly and is completely paved. I wish there was more information regarding all the available trails. We are definitely coming back to explore other trails. I highly recommend checking out the covered bridge and walking across it. IG: journey_man16

    I affectionately call this the dog walker's park. Come Saturday or Sunday and show off your canine friend. And if you're thinking of getting a dog, this is a great place to see lots of different breeds and talk to their owners. You can also rent watercrafts and cool off in the creek if need be. Other parts of the park feature nice trails. For events at this park visit: events dcnr pa For more information: pa parks and forests (diamond)

    Such a beautiful park and so many trails to walk on! Always very crowded but if you go later in the day/early in the morning you can find good parking. Great park if you don’t like taking the same trail all the time!!

    Great place for the outdoors! They have a kayaking or paddle boarding rent house near the river starting at $25 an hour. There is lots of wildlife and clean trails. The ice cream truck comes every so often to the main parking lot next to the bridge.
