This dive site, Perch Lake, offers a range of diving experiences. Visibility typically ranges from 5 to 25 feet, providing opportunities for exploring the underwater landscape. The lake is home to various aquatic life, including small fish, large catfish, and occasionally turtles. Due to fishing activities permitted in the lake, divers should be aware of potential fishing line present. Two notable wrecks are located within the lake: a twin-engine Cessna that can be penetrated, and a Volkswagen Jetta which is not accessible.
