Springbrook State Park in Guthrie Center, Iowa

Springbrook State Park is a small and quaint state park located in Guthrie Center, Iowa. We made a visit during a fall camping trip. It was the perfect fall day for a hike and to take in all the beautiful fall foliage. The state park offers 12-miles of trails, so there are plenty of options to choose from.

We took the Lake Trail which is 1.37 miles around the lake. The terrain was rocky and sandy with a few hills. It was perfect for our family and offered beautiful views around the lake.
