Perry Martin Lake is a very small, 25-acre oxbow lake located in the Great River Road State Park. The park offers many opportunities for outdoor recreation but this picturesque lake is one of the main highlights. It is well-stocked with largemouth bass, bluegill, crappie, and channel catfish. This lake offers a very quiet, very intimate paddling experience with gorgeous scenery. The surrounding forest is thick with lush foliage that has much to offer for nature enthusiasts. A 75-foot observation tower is located in the park near the lake and is well-worth the effort for the panoramic views it presents.
