Overview

About

An urban park that feels like pristine wilderness? Yes, please! George Wyth State Park is surrounded by water in the middle of the Waterloo-Cedar Falls metropolitan area. It’s characterized by expansive woodlands and it’s proximity to the fabulous Cedar River and four lakes. The park has been designated a National Urban Wildlife Sanctuary and birdwatchers have observed more than 200 species within the park’s boundaries. Whether you dig swimming, boating, fishing, hiking, biking, or just relaxing, George Wyth State Park is your spot for adventure. You’ll discover 5.5 miles of hiking trails, a 50-mile lake-to-lake state park bike route, and the incredible Cedar Valley Paddlers Trail — a 10-mile, multiple lake route for kayakers and canoers with just 1.6 miles of portaging. Ready to ditch the pavement for grassy knolls and sandy beaches? Feel the love at George Wyth State Park.

When to go

The best time to visit George Wyth State Park is during the warmer months, from May to September, when the park's full splendor is on display. Winter can be harsh, with limited activities due to snow and ice, making spring through fall the ideal seasons for a visit.
