Great River Road State Park offers a convenient boat ramp and access point for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorboats on Perry Martin Lake. This 25-acre oxbow lake off the Mississippi River is a popular spot for fishing, with bass, white perch, and catfish commonly caught.
The boat ramp is well-maintained, though an entrance fee is charged that can be paid at an honor box. No jet boats are allowed on the lake, so it's an ideal spot for peaceful paddling and fishing. Nearby, the Dahomey National Wildlife Refuge provides additional opportunities for nature exploration along the Mississippi River corridor. Visitors should check the park's website for the latest information on fees, hours, and amenities before planning their visit.
