Despite all our best efforts to keep
paint blazes in place and maintain the trail, nothing provides the
peace of mind like a detailed map. And nothing compares to the
capabilities of modern GPS receivers to answer that age-old
question: Where am I?
We
have collected, examined, evaluated and updated GPS survey data on Perry Lake Trail
for nearly 20 years. Today's basic outdoor recreation GPS receiver
offers capabilities superior to low-end survey grade equipment we used
two decades ago for our first trail maps.
The files below are offered with  the hope
that they'll enhance your experience on the trail. Enjoy!
