New listing
Slough Creek Campground is situated on Perry Lake in the lush Kansas forest. As the largest and most popular recreation area at the lake, Slough Creek is an ideal destination for family camping trips. The campground is surrounded by the lake on one side and a dense canopy of forest on the other, making it ideal for those wishing to enjoy the best of both environments. Perry Lake has a reputation for being one of the best sailing lakes in the region; however, boaters of all types will enjoy the many opportunities offered here, whether it's sailing, power boating or canoeing. Perry Lake also offers excellent fishing: white crappie, flathead catfish, walleye, white bass, channel catfish and sauger are in abundance throughout the lake. In addition to the vast lake, the area has approximately 27,000 acres of public land dedicated to wildlife management, where turkey, deer, quail, pheasant, rabbit, squirrel, duck and geese are all found. For hikers, the 29-mile Perry Lake loop trail offers a range of terrain and difficulty, from easy, gentle slopes in the south to rugged, varying elevation changes in the north, and its Slough Creek trailhead is located on-site. There is also a short loop trail through the Slough Creek Area called the Thunder Ridge Trail, with a trailhead just outside the main campground gate. At approximately 2.5 miles, it offers a diverse array of terrain and scenery for such a short trail. Slough Creek Campground offers 174 spacious campsites, ranging from walk-in tent sites to full electric and water hookup sites. In addition to the individual campsites, one large group camp is available for large parties or family functions and provides privacy from the main campground. Note that park entrance gates are closed from 10pm to 6am on Friday and Saturday nights and for the entirety of holiday weekends. An exit lane is provided with one way traffic only, and no late entrance is allowed. Perry Lake Dam was completed in 1969 to help with flood control for the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers. Today the lake boasts 159 miles of shoreline and 12,000 surface acres of water, creating countless recreational activities for visitors and earning it the nickname "paradise on the plains." Lawrence, Topeka and Kansas City are each a short drive away, with their own array of shopping, dining and attractions.
