McIntosh Woods State Park is a 60-acre natural enclave on the northwest shore of Clear Lake in northern Iowa. The park, founded in 1944, is a popular northern Iowa outdoor destination for fishing, boating, kayaking and more. Visitors can enjoy a unique camping experience in one of two yurts, which are the only yurts in the Iowa state park system. Cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and ice fishing are popular winter activities at the park. McIntosh's sandy beach is located on the peninsula along with a modern playground. The shoreline offers picnicking and magnificent views of the sunsets to the west and south.
