B Loop Trail is a 3.1-mile loop in Tyler State Park in Texas, managed by State Park and Recreation. The trail rises from about 492 feet to a high point of 570 feet, with a total elevation gain of 266 feet and a steepest stretch of about 8% at roughly 0.6 miles in. It is an easy hike, and the route is closed to the loop, so you can start and end at the same point. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show April highs around 77°F and October highs around 79°F, while July and August average in the mid-90s. The trail is also open to bikes, so you can ride it. The Lakeshore Trail is just 0.3 miles away, and the D Loop Trail and C Loop Trail are each about half a mile off. Paddlers can find Little Saline Creek about 1.9 miles away.
