Perry Lake Park (CCC Lake Park)

Noble County · in Perry Lake Park, approximately 300 ft from the park entrance off OK-86

The creation of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1933 gave promise to many communities affected by the Great Depression of the 30s. Through the cooperative efforts of the Chamber of Commerce, city officials and interested citizens, 170 acres of land referred to as "The Perry City Farm" was designated as the site for a CCC Camp. Will Rogers, at the time Oklahoma's Congressman at Large, worked with the United States Department of the Interior to ensure a Camp would be located in Perry.
