Tyler State Park

Tyler State Park preserves a long-inhabited Bucks County landscape shaped by Neshaminy Creek, where Lenape communities once lived and farmed before European settlement brought mills, roads, and family farms in the early 18th century. Much of that agricultural pattern still survives in its trails, fields, woods, and remaining stone buildings. The modern estate took form when George and Stella Tyler assembled surrounding farms between 1919 and 1929 to keep them from development, later passing into public ownership after Stella Tyler’s death. Opened in 1974, the park combines historic scenery, recreation, wildlife habitat, and landmarks such as the rebuilt Schofield Ford Covered Bridge, while also facing fish-consumption warnings tied to PFOS contamination in Neshaminy Creek.
