About Perry

Nestled at the southern tip of Perry Lake, Perry Park beckons day-trippers and water enthusiasts to its prime location right beside the dam, where a bustling marina and information center serve as gateways to aquatic adventure. Whether you're launching a sailboat, casting a line into the reservoir's depths, or gathering your extended family under one of the park's spacious picnic shelters, this recreational hub delivers the perfect lakeside escape.
Perry Park is described as a recreational day use area rather than a developed campground; it features reservable picnic shelters and shoreline/beach access. No campsites, RV hookups, cabins, primitive camping, group campsites or glamping accommodations are mentioned.
Historical SignificanceThe story of Perry Lake begins in 1969, when engineers completed the impressive dam structure as part of a grand vision to tame the mighty Missouri and Mississippi Rivers during flood season. What started as a flood control project has blossomed into something far greater—a thriving 12,000-acre reservoir that now serves as both a recreational paradise and a carefully managed wildlife sanctuary, proving that human engineering and natural beauty can coexist in harmony.
Natural Features and SceneryPerry Lake sprawls across the Kansas landscape like a liquid gem, its 159 miles of meandering shoreline creating countless hidden coves and sandy beaches to explore. The shimmering 12,000 acres of open water serve as the centerpiece to an even more expansive natural kingdom—nearly 27,000 acres of pristine woodland and wildlife management areas that stretch beyond the waterline. From your vantage point at Perry Park, positioned strategically near both the commanding dam structure and the vibrant marina, you'll find yourself at the heart of this aquatic wonderland, with easy access to beaches, boat launches, and shoreline trails that invite you to lose yourself in the great outdoors.
