camp sites, cabins, picnic areas, hiking trails, equestrian trails, and boat ramps maintained by the Kansas State Department of Wildlife and Parks. Other camp sites, cabins, boat ramps, hiking trails, and other amenities are to be found on the north and east sides of the lake. Moreover, two marinas and a yacht club are to be found on Perry Lake, along with lodging and restaurants.
Year-round fishing throughout the lake and seasonal hunting in selected areas are also available. Additionally, a golf course is to
be found north of the lake. Links to many of these amenities are to be found on the "Attractions" page.
