Picnicking at Tyler State Park

All picnic areas have picnic tables, restrooms, and drinking water; and are surrounded by mowed, grassy areas for sunbathing and relaxing.

Please remember:

  • Picnic areas are open from sunrise to sunset, on a first-come, first-served basis
  • Park only in designated areas
  • Because uncontrolled pets may chase wildlife or frighten visitors, pets must be physically controlled and attended at all times and on a leash, caged, or crated -- electronic fences and leashes are prohibited
  • Please clean-up dog waste
