About This Access Site
Perry Boat Ramp is a public access point on the North Raccoon River located on the north side of Highway 141 bridge at the west edge of Perry, Dallas County. The ramp features a hard-surface concrete launch, making it suitable for kayaks, canoes, and motorized boats. This is approximately 6 miles downstream from the Dawson Boat Ramp, the furthest upstream public access in Dallas County, making Perry a convenient mid-river access point along the North Raccoon River Water Trail.

The site provides a straightforward put-in and take-out location for paddlers looking to explore scenic stretches of the North Raccoon River. Directional signs are posted at the ramp and nearby bridges to help paddlers navigate between access points.
