2. Our first Texas state park with our Scamp! We arrived in time for Aaron to do some fishing and make dinner. This park is GORGEOUS and has great facilities! The lake is too small for high-powered boats, but is perfect for canoeing (rentals available), fishing and swimming; the dam was built in the late 1930's by the CCC. The CCC was also responsible for building bridges, the bathhouse, boathouse, concession, dance pavilion and caretaker's home. Tent sites are lovely, there are 2 dedicated RV areas, 1 tent area, 1 mixed area. There are lots of group picnic areas, a screened cabin area and a lighted fishing pier. There are extensive mountain bike trails too. We walked our dogs around the whole lake and stopped to swim a lot. Scampsite #23.
The town of Tyler has a lot to do also: there is the Apache Drive-In movie theater, a Carnegie library, several disc golf courses, the Tyler Municipal Rose Garden and Museum and its Rose Fest every fall. It is a Main Street City and the county airport still operates an airport cafe.
