The George Wyth Memorial State Park is a public recreation area on the Cedar River, located two miles west of Cedar Falls and four miles northwest of Waterloo in Black Hawk County, Iowa, United States. The state park features camping, over 10 miles of paved and unpaved trails for hiking and biking, and fishing and boating on four different lakes: Brinker, George Wyth, Fisher and Alice Wyth.
