Lake Perry Field Trip

We will leave from the I-70 Business Park (former outlet mall), address is 1035 N. 3rd Street, Lawrence. We will go to the parking lot west of the ranger station arriving between 8:30 and 8:45. From there we will go down to the parking area at the east end of the dam. Next we will loop east, north and back west to the marina. The edge of the lake here is usually quite weedy and contains many sparrows. Waterfowl are usually present in holes in the ice. Next we will go back across the dam to the west side of lake and through the wooded area for songbirds and woodpeckers. We will then travel to the outflow structure below the dam. There we could possibly see over a dozen eagles, depending on ice cover. We will plan to conclude the field trip by 11 a.m. Plan to coordinate your own transportation.
