EQUSTRIAN ALERT:  Horse Campers please note you must call the Park office to make advanced reservations for the Wild Horse Equestrian Campground. This is due to the inordinate number of reservations for our regular campgrounds at Perry State Park (the non-equestrian sites), many campers are looking and are booking sites in the Wild Horse Equestrian Campground that do not have a horse.  All horse campers who want an advance reservation will need to call the office to make those reservations.  The office phone number is 785-246-3449.  Please remember that to do an advanced reservation, the reservation must be done before NOON the day before arrival.  We cannot do a one-night reservation for Friday and or Saturday.  You must book both nights and you must call before NOON on Thursday.

If you leave tracks turn back" Please call the office if you have questions or concerns.   Please do not make new trails.  The most current trail maps are located on Let's Ride-- Perry Lake Facebook under files. Wild Horse Equestrian Bathhouse will be open when there are campers or events.

DUE to KDHE Lagoon Inspections the Fish cleaning station is still closed.  We can no longer dump the fish bones etc. into the Lagoon.  Accumulation of the bones, skins and other parts over the years have made the lagoon inoperable. We are waiting for permission to move the station and have the bones etc. discharge out into the lake.  Unfortunately, due to the flooding of 2019 has put a hold on this project at this point.  Plans are still in the works and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
