Set on the shores of Lake Renwick, Icelandic State Park offers a wide range of recreational activities, including swimming, boating, hiking, and camping. The park was founded in 1964 and recalls North Dakota's homesteading heritage, with a handful of beautifully restored farmhouses, churches, and halls dotted throughout the park's 900-acre footprint. The fishing is excellent, with the chance to reel in northern pike and other game fish.

Dreaming of a lakeside getaway? Book an RV in Pembina County and you can escape to Icelandic State Park. With a home on wheels, you'll also enjoy the freedom to visit North Dakota gems like Theodore Roosevelt National Park and Fort Abraham Lincoln State Park. Extend your road trip to explore neighboring states like Montana, South Dakota, and Minnesota, or cross the border to Canada and venture through the Great White North.

Discover Icelandic State Park


Getting Outdoors

At the heart of the Icelandic State Park, Lake Renwick provides a picturesque backdrop for summer fun. Claim a patch of sand and spend the day soaking up the sunshine on the beach and cooling off in the water. If you feel like a paddle, affordable canoe and kayak rentals are available from the park office. A grassy area overlooks the lake and is dotted with picnic tables shaded by towering oak trees. It's a great spot to escape the sun and enjoy a leisurely lunch. Be sure to pack your picnic basket with North Dakota delicacies like cheese buttons, strawberry rhubarb pie, and chokecherry wine.

More than four miles of hiking trails wind through the park and showcase the lush forests and scenic shoreline of Icelandic State Park. The popular Bluebird Trail hugs the banks of the Tongue River and offers a unique chance to spot river otters and great blue heron. Things don't slow down in the winter, when snow-dusted Icelandic State Park transforms into an outdoor playground for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. Kids will love having snowball fights and zooming down the sled hill.

Within the park, the Pioneer Heritage Center is filled with historic displays on North Dakota's homesteading roots. The Gunlogson Homestead and Nature Preserve is another local attraction, featuring a fascinating museum housed in an early homestead. Check out the historic displays and explore the 200-acre natural woodland on the banks of the Tongue River. As you walk the trails, keep an eye out for rare birds like the pileated woodpecker and western wood-pewee.
