Red Haw State Park is a serene 649-acre park located near Chariton in Lucas County, Iowa. It was officially established as a state park in 1935. The main feature of the park is Red Haw Lake, which spans approximately 72 acres and offers ample opportunities for fishing, boating (electric motors only), and swimming.

The landscape surrounding the lake includes rolling hills covered with hardwood forests that provide picturesque hiking trails throughout the year. Visitors can enjoy camping at one of its well-maintained campsites or rent cabins available within the park's boundaries. With abundant wildlife and diverse plant species, it's also popular among nature enthusiasts for bird watching and botany exploration.

Red Haw's shady campground overlooks the beautiful lake. There are 80 camping units (60 with electrical hookups), paved roads, modern rest rooms, showers and a trailer dumping station. A playground provides fun for little campers. A boat ramp is conveniently located near the campground. Starting February 13, 2006 advance campsite reservations can be booked through the park reservation system. Half of the campsites are still available for self-registration on a first-come, first-serve basis.
