| Perry State Park comprises two areas totaling 1,250 acres on the shores of Perry Reservoir in Jefferson County. With the 12,500-acre reservoir & an 11,000-acre wildlife area nearby, this state park is well-situated to accommodate any outdoor preference.
The park's four campgrounds provide 124 electric/ H2O campsites & 350 primitive campsites. Showers & toilets are conveniently located for all campers. A swimming beach & beach house serve summertime fun-seekers. Day-use areas of the park offer seven picnic shelters, three of which are available by reservation.
The marshes at Perry Wildlife Area provide early migrant bird hunting, & deep H2O areas supply late season mallard & diving duck hunting. In dry years, H2O is pumped to some of the area's ten marshes to ensure adequate H2O levels. Whitetailed deer, cottontails, wild turkeys, coyotes, raccoons, & dove are common on the area.
Perry Reservoir is best known for its crappie & channel cat fishing. Best angling opportunities for crappie are in the Slough Creek, Rock Creek, & Old Town areas. The best areas for channel catfish are on mud flats in the upper end of the reservoir & in the Delaware River. |
