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.

Cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and ice fishing are popular winter activities at the park.
