About Presque Isle State Park
Presque Isle is a 3,112-acre sandy peninsula that curves into Lake Erie just west of the city of Erie. It has 13 swimming beaches, 21 miles of trails and a 13-mile road loop, plus a working lighthouse from 1872. Start at the Tom Ridge Environmental Center by the park entrance, where the exhibits and the 75-foot observation tower are free. Pennsylvania charges no entrance fee at its state parks. Beaches open only in certain seasons, so check with the park office.
