Reviews
Absolutely amazing experience here. Very well maintained park with incredible scenery. The Runestone is well preserved. Wonderful pathways that are well taken care of. The gift shop is very nice and stocked with plenty of Norse Rune related things. The staff is very professional, knowledgeable, accommodating, and friendly. Hope to return again with the love of my life.
Really neat site to visit if you are into history and/or Viking culture. I lucked out and had the place to myself (visited second week of December, so probably off season?) which was really nice. Definitely worth a stop if you are in the area or want to take a day trip. There is also camping around the site and a small gift shop selling firewood, souvenirs, etc.

The staff we encountered over two different visits was very nice. I called previous to the trip and again the staff was helpful and nice.
We hiked the Red blazed trail and one of the Blue blazed trails. I absolutely love the rocky rugged terrain. There were many rock shelves to walk out on and lots of shear drop-offs to walk up to the edge.
Since it was bone dry when we hiked there was no flowing water. That being said there are countless little waterfalls and streams that would be magnificent during the rainy time of year.
The Runestone was neat, but I hate that a building is built around it. Unfortunately we have to protect our 'gems' from 'stupid'.
This is a great place to spend a ½ day chasing out the trails and learning the history of such a unique find in our state.
The park was very clean everywhere we drove and walked.
There is no entrance fee, but I encourage you to leave a donation to maintain access for those who follow after us.
Interesting park. It is free and has a couple short trails with the main one leading to the Rune stone. They have a gift shop and clean bathrooms.
Neat place to visit. Great trails hard to see them in the fall. When the leaves are on the ground
Drove through with a friend who lives in the area and goes there often - it is beautiful and I can see why folks go there to camp or to just have a picnic. Shady, scenic, with views of the valley. It was a hot day, and while we didn't get out of the car, the shade looked so cool and inviting.
We only walked the loop to the runestone. Super cool. However lots of stairs! Wasn't too bad but gets steep.
Really cool history on the Runestone, and the trails are well kept. It is also free to visit and cheap to go camping.
