Getting Outdoors

Even though Perch Lake might seem small, it is a gorgeous place for fishing. Motorized boats are strictly forbidden on the lake, which adds to calmness and relaxation. This allows visitors to be completely focused on nature and the woods that surround the lake. Anglers might catch bass, bluegill, trout, pike, and sunfish. Ice fishing is also somewhat popular on Perch Lake since the lake freezes when the weather turns cold.

Camping at Perch Lake

Unfortunately, there are no campgrounds on the shores of Perch Lake. However, visitors who want to go motorhome camping in the area might stay at Traverse Bay RV Resort, which is just a short drive away from the lake. This RV resort is quite clean and well-maintained, with gorgeous landscaping. The amenities include showers, restrooms, picnic area, dog park, and free WiFi.

We spent a little over two weeks traveling from Minnesota to Shenandoah, Great Smoky Mountains, and Mammoth Cave National Parks. We put on over 3000 miles, 500 miles on mountain roads (Skyline Drive, The Blue Ridge Parkway, and Hwy 441 through the Great Smoky Mountains), and our van handled the climbs, descents, and curves easily. There were plenty of ports to charge electronics. The cooler-sized refrigerator is very handy, no need to keep finding ice. Storage under the bed is tall enough for good-sized duffel bags and/or small suitcases. The two nights it rained, we were happy to hear the pitter-patter on the roof, knowing we wouldn't have to pack up a wet tent before moving to our next campground.

Great van and customer service! Few minor issues - heater shut down in middle of the night, couldn’t figure out how to turn water on, no coolant. Thanks for the trip!
