[ It lies within the watershed of the Lower Chewuch River.[6]]The lake is oriented from northwest to southeast in a narrow, glacially carved valley where it abuts a forested slope to the south and open shrub-steppe habitat to the north. It is located in Section 36, Township 35N, Range 21E.[7] The lake is almost entirely surrounded by Pearrygin Lake State Park.[8] A privately-owned RV camping resort occupies the lake's northern shore.[9] The lake's primary sports fish is rainbow trout.[3]
History
The lake bears the name of B.F. "Ben" Pearrygin, who homesteaded the area in the late 1880s.[11] The lake became a reservoir intended for irrigation and recreational purposes with the completion of a dam in 1921.[2]
