Red Haw State Park, State park with lake and forest in Lucas County, United States.
Red Haw State Park is a woodland area with a lake in Lucas County, Iowa. The 70-acre lake has multiple fishing jetties and shoreline access points throughout the grounds.
The park was developed in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps, which also built a stone shelter that still serves as a gathering place. This structure has remained central to park activities for decades.
The park hosts numerous community gatherings and outdoor activities, from fishing tournaments to nature education programs throughout the seasons.
The camping area provides electrical hookups, modern restrooms, and showers, with some sites available through advance reservation. Paved roads make it easy to navigate the grounds.
Thousands of red bud trees bloom with pink blossoms in mid-spring, circling the entire lake with color. This natural display transforms the landscape for a few weeks each year.
