This park has very clean clear water and a swimming area in the lake with a cement island you can swim out to. The state park also has some advanced mountain bike trails that go on for miles. There are several different experience level trails to ride on. Having been to the mountain bike trails I can vouch that you will have a scenic, enjoyable fitness ride on your bike and will be amazed how fast some of the more experienced riders at the park can speed around the trails. The bikers are polite and are good about being safe around family riders. You can fish, canoe, water paddle or play on the kid parks swings and slides. The Tyler state park also allows people to camp in many different camp ground areas. You are allowed to bring your own wood to cook out and use the state parks provided grills.
