Picnicking

Several picnic shelter facilities are available throughout Perry Lake. There are four reservable picnic shelters available for use by the public. These shelters are Dedication Point, Swimming Beach Shelter, Old Town Park Shelter and Rock Creek Park Shelter located at Rock Creek Park. Several other picnic shelters are available at no charge and are not reservable.

The picnic shelters at Dedication Point, Swimming Beach and Rock Creek Park are the most popular at the lake, offering the perfect getaway for company picnics and weddings. The Dedication Point Shelter has convenient shoreline access for mooring boats. Recent improvements to the Rock Creek Shelter include electrical and water service and shoreline access.
