Love this park, gets busy during nice days at the water. Great trails and nice long uphill to trek too. The covered bridge trail is really nice, a bit hilly but worth the effort for a relaxing jaunt. If possible, hit up the nature trail and cross the small wooden bridge, it's always magical in there.

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

Sally Landers | Nov 7, 2018
Jeff Corn | Nov 8, 2018

Yes there are quite a few parking areas much are easy access for someone of your needs. The boat access is probably the easiest with a nice paved path that is flat and level with benches along the neshaminy creek. A very pleasant walk about a quarter to a half mile each way.

Swimming is dangerous for children?

Sugey Perez | Nov 7, 2019
Tyler State Park (Owner) | Nov 8, 2019

There is no swimming allowed at Tyler State Park. The creek is shallow near the Boathouse areas and we do allow visitors to wade or play in the water there; which is generally safe unless the water levels have risen. Also consider some of the rocks may be sharp. There are no lifeguards, no designated swimming areas, and the water is not tested for quality standards.

Why is the nature trail near the canoe rental not cleared?

Barbara Barsky | Nov 7, 2018
The GoodTime FolkRock Show | Nov 8, 2018

Because the county is cheap......go to the rangers office and complain and they'll clear it . Was there today and found huge branches purposly laid across the trails to discourage Mountain biking which messes up the trails most likely put there by the horseback riding stables which are NOT affilliated with the park system ......i was ready to complain myself. Its the forest reangers responsibility to keep the nature trails clear.

Thank you for your help. It was in the mid 90's. The lights and labor were donated by Armour Electric. I'll check out Shady Brook, but I'm 100% certain that it was at Tyler State Park.
