Glendale Boat Ramp

Glendale Access offers a concrete boat ramp and large parking area for convenient launching onto the South Skunk River, located 4 miles northeast of Oskaloosa.

The site provides camping (tent and trailer) for $15/night, picnicking facilities, and fishing opportunities, making it a well-equipped base for paddling and fishing excursions.

According to the comprehensive park plan, improvements are planned including higher-quality seating, a shelter with picnic tables, wayfinding signage for water trails, and additional trails for fishing and nature engagement.
