Perry Lake is a local favorite for recreation among residents in northeast Kansas, and it is conveniently located to major cities like Topeka, Lawrence, and Kansas City. This hidden gem has 11,000 acres of water which are accessible via a number of boat ramps and marinas around the shoreline. Fishing is huge at Perry Lake, with a huge population of sauger and a reputation for providing breeding stock to many other lakes in Kansas. On land, there are miles and miles of hiking trails, as well as a system of trails for ATVs. The area is home to wildlife such as deer, turkey, rabbits, and even bald eagles.
