Skalbekken County Park amenities include shelters, restrooms, water, picnic areas, rustic camping areas, plus horse trails and camps with horse ties and manure bunkers. Skalbekken became Renville County’s first park in 1967. The original deed belonged to Ole Skalbeck. Skalbeck’s log home, originally built in 1868, was moved to the park in 1974.
Located about six miles southwest of Sacred Heart on County Road 10.
Local and well maintained. Lots of hiking trails and horse trails. Tons of wildlife and great fishing.
It’s primitive camping which we like. The porta potties are maintained which is very nice. It would be nice to have more tent sites ONLY!!! RV’s pull in and you have to listen to generators running all day long and night.
Nice quiet secluded park by the Minnesota River. Lots of access to fishing.
This is a nice County Park on the Minnesota River near Sacred Heart. There are gravel roads to ride on. It's also a place a lot of folks go to ride their horses. There are hiking trails we have not explored yet.
Absolutely love this place. Some of the prettiest trails I have ridden in Minnesota. Good place to get the horses in shape. The whole campground is under big oak trees that provide a lot of shade and beautiful view right on the river!
