Perry Memorial Conservation Area offers primitive camping sites and two access points to the Blackwater River, one of the few remaining unchannelized river sections in the drainage basin.

The 4,053-acre area features diverse recreational opportunities including hiking trails, a shooting range, and 7-acre Guier Lake, with free camping available year-round.

Located along Highway 23 north of Knob Noster in Johnson County, the site provides parking areas and a shorebird viewing area for visitors exploring the river and wetland habitats.
