Love's Lookout Scenic Park is a great place for walking or for family picnics, and includes a 5,500  square foot facility with restrooms, vending machines, an information center and a sheriff's sub-station. 

Love's Lookout is about 29 miles from downtown Tyler via U.S. 69, and the drive time is about 40 minutes.
