About This Access Site
George Wyth State Park offers convenient public access to the West Fork Cedar River via a boat ramp located at the end of a short roadway off Wyth Road in Waterloo. This access point is ideal for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorboats looking to explore the river. The park also features multiple lakes within its grounds—including Alice Wyth Lake (60 acres, electric motors only) and Brinker Lake—each with their own boat ramps, providing additional paddling and fishing opportunities.
The park is well-developed with amenities including three universally accessible fishing jetties around George Wyth Lake and facilities suitable for a full day of recreation. For specific information about amenities, hours of operation, and any access fees, contact George Wyth Park directly at 319-232-5505. The nearby Cedar Falls Recreation Center (319-273-8636) can also assist with planning your visit. This is a good option for paddlers seeking a developed access point with supporting facilities in the Waterloo area.
