We all know about the breathtaking canyons at Big Bend and the astonishing views at Enchanted Rock, but they’re not the only incredible natural attractions in the Lone Star State. Venture off the beaten path and enjoy a weekend at Tyler State Park. With picturesque hiking trails, peaceful fishing docks, and a magnificent spring-fed lake, this East Texas attraction is a must-visit. Tyler State Park is so well-hidden, it feels like one of the state’s best-kept secrets.
