Presque Isle State Park, State park peninsula in Erie, United States.
Presque Isle extends into Lake Erie with 13 designated swimming beaches, 34 kilometers of trails, and diverse ecosystems across 3,200 acres of land.
The peninsula served as a base for Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry's fleet during the War of 1812 and housed French, British, and American forts.
The Tom Ridge Environmental Center presents exhibits about the park's ecosystems and includes a 75-foot observation tower for visitors to explore.
The park opens daily from 5:00 AM until sunset, offering activities such as swimming, boating, fishing, hiking, bicycling, and inline skating.
The peninsula contains seven distinct ecological zones and hosts more endangered, threatened, and rare species than any comparable area in Pennsylvania.
