After living in East Texas for a while it’s easy to overlook how much there is to do here. While we might not have as much as the metroplex, we also don’t have to deal with the same amount of traffic that they have.
If you’re looking for fun things to do with your family, here are some parks and trails that you can check out here in Tyler.
