About This Access Site
Fishermans Park provides a convenient public boat launch for paddlers and boaters accessing Perch Lake, a 45-acre lake in Sparta, Monroe County. This rustic 0.81-acre access site is located just off East Avenue and is specifically designed to accommodate non-motorized boating activities such as kayaking and canoeing. The park features a fishing pier (including a disabled-accessible option), portable toilets, and a dedicated launch area for water access.

Perch Lake reaches a maximum depth of 63 feet and is home to panfish, largemouth bass, and trout, making it suitable for both recreational paddling and fishing. Note that no parking is allowed on Perch Lake Road itself, so use the designated parking areas within the park. This is an ideal spot for a casual paddle or fishing trip, with basic facilities to support your visit.
