Located on the north shore of Lake Renwick, Icelandic State Park offers visitors
not only a wide array of recreational opportunities, but also glimpses of North
Dakota's homesteading heritage and its natural beauty.
Boating, swimming and fishing for northern pike and other game fish are popular
activities. Picnic areas enable visitors to enjoy a relaxing afternoon in the
shade of old oak trees, while the campgrounds offer full amenities, including
electrical hookups, modern comfort stations with showers and sewage dump
station. Three sleeping cabins are also available from mid-May through the end
of September.
Within the park are the Pioneer Heritage Center and restored historic buildings.
Also found here is the Gunlogson Homestead and Nature Preserve. This early
homestead preserves the state's pioneer spirit, while the 200-acre natural
wooded area along the Tongue River is a sanctuary for plants, birds and
wildlife.
