About this adventure
Spanning more than 1,700 acres in Bucks County, Tyler State Park is a premier four-season family recreation haven. The park features over 10 miles of paved multi-use trails weaving through native hardwood forests along the Neshaminy Creek, providing smooth, mud-free footing for strollers, wagons, and family winter bike rides. A central highlight is the historic Schofield Ford Covered Bridge, a 170-foot timber-framed bridge dating back to 1873. When snow falls, families flock to Tyler's designated sledding hills located directly below the Upper Plantation Picnic Area parking lot, which offer gentle slopes, adjacent parking, and open restrooms. Admission and parking are entirely free.
