The park has several water areas: Brinker Lake (120 acres, open for power boating), George Wyth Lake (75 acres, no wake lake), Fisher Lake (40 acres natural lake), Alice Wyth Lake (60 acres, electric motors only) and the Cedar River. George Wyth State Park is located on the Cedar River within the Waterloo-Cedar Falls metropolitan area. Its large expanse of woodland is abundant with many varieties of wildlife. Bird-watchers have observed more than 200 different species and white-tailed deer can be seen year-round. George Wyth State Park, now 460 acres in size, underwent an extensive redevelopment project in 1980-81 and is now a popular facility for boating, fishing, swimming, camping, hiking, bicycling, jogging and bird watching.
