About Perry State Park
A beach sits alongside the fishing and boating waters here, giving visitors a spot to swim as well as launch a line or a boat. Hiking trails also run through the grounds, and camping is available on site. The park came about through an agreement between the Kansas Parks and Resources Authority and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, following legislative authorization in 1967.
Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
