Every state park is unique in its own way. We enjoyed the beauty of this area and walking on the beach. One helpful idea- dont charge for touring the light house..instead charge a flat rate of $10 per car to enter the park and keep the lighthouse free.

Easy to spend time here - several activities to do. Beach’s were beautiful ! Such a nice place to hang out. Not sure I saw anywhere to purchase any food & drink, so best be prepared. Washroom facilities at the ‘open for swimming’ beaches need a more regular attendance. The boat tour was only $20 for 90 minutes tour - which I felt was pretty good value. It’s a really nice drive if you just want to pass through. Well worth a visit - very well managed park.

This place was amazing! My family rented a pavilion for a reunion. We could hear the birds as we ate yummy sandwiches in the shade. Not really sure what the “ Hot Coals” were for… Maybe grilling? Anyway the walking paths were thrilling with many twist and turns I felt like I was dancing! that was until I saw a gaggle (group) of geese with there little goslings. Goslings are baby geese. Picture of baby below. Anywho, I pulled out my digital camera to snap a pic but was jumped scared almost to death! The goose opened it big old mouth and hist at me! I took 3 big bob step back and snap a quick pic before continuing my walking journey. The whole trail was around 7 miles but we didn’t start at the tip so we walked 6 miles instead. I had made happy memories as I watched the sail boat glide across the bay. I even saw a cheeky chipmunk cross the path. When we got to the end of the path, I saw an amazing restaurant named Sara’s restaurant. I ate onion rings, a burger, a rooten tooten root beer float! My beloved sister order the chick tenders. Would not recommend. It didn’t have much zing and was ten bucks. My sister’s penut butter yogurt cone just hit different! The restaurant had a vintage vibe but the prices didn’t. After we ate, We took a trip to the beach (across the street). It looked beautiful and I tried to skip a few rocks but was interrupted by the urge to use the restrooms after drinking 3 cups of soda. I went to sara’s and could not find a bathroom! I jumped onto the path thinking I would see a bathroom shortly. Unfortunately I was wrong and I wet my pants after walking 2 miles to find the bathroom . I had an extra pair of pants and was able to get dry. So In conclusion, I loved the park but wished the bathroom situation was better.

I'd planned to be here two years before the solar eclipse happened, even though I'd never been to Erie before, and, know what, it WAS the best place to be for the eclipse. The peninsula is miles long and has several parking areas and great views on the bay side and the Lake Erie side. The lanes and bicycle/hiking trails are in great shape and very clean. When we experienced the eclipse we enjoyed the whole range of experiences: the wind rose, the water got choppy, the birds began to gather to roost in the trees and the light was unreal - then totality. Wow! This was the best place for the eclipse. We spent 3 days in Erie and Presque Isle is just the coolest thing. If I were here in the summer I'd be here AND in neighboring Waldimeer Amusement Park AND the Tom Ridge Environmental Center AND at Sara's hot dog stand - all right by the entrance. Cool park, cool city, excellent time!

Views are great. Walking and biking trails. Went for a walk along one of the many beaches. Went fishing up near Perry Monument. If you are in Erie, visit here and enjoy the scenery and peaceful atmosphere.

Amazing !!!!!!!!!!! ! Nature at its finest. Bike, beach, fish, walk, rollerblade, picnic, birdwatch, boat, kayak or just relax and take it all in. Something for everyone. It's incredible that the state of Pennsylvania doesn't charge admission to the beautiful peninsula. Days of free entertainment suitable for any family.
