    Tyler State Park hosts permit-only shotgun and archery deer hunts during hunting season on approximately 1500 acres. 

    During the Special Regulation shotgun hunt, the entire park is closed to visitors. 

    This park offers accessible hunting options for this special regulation hunt. Visitors holding a DCNR Mobility Device Permit can contact the park office for more information about accessible hunting locations within the park.

    DCNR permits visitors with a DCNR Mobility Device Permit to use powered mobility devices on designated state park and forest lands, including administrative roads and trails not normally open to standard motorized vehicles.

    Visitors interested in a DCNR Mobility Device Permit can fill out an application and submit it at any state park or forest office.

    There are several historic places with ADA access at Tyler State Park.

     

    The Spring Garden Mill:

    Home to the Langhorne Players, Inc., the Spring Garden Mill was once a grain and feed mill. The Langhorne Players are a volunteer community theater company that has converted the mill into a small theater for the production of unusual, thought-provoking plays and cultural events.

    Tyler Park Center for the Arts:

    The Tyler Park Center for the Arts occupies a building that was once an equestrian and hay barn. The arts center converted the barn and surrounding buildings into artist dwellings, workshops, and studios. They offer classes and workshops. The annual Crafts in the Meadow Fall Invitational Craft Show helps support the arts center.
