Presque Isle State Park is a peninsula that curves out into Lake Erie, creating Presque Isle Bay, an important shipping and transport center. The park is open daily year-round and has plenty to offer, including 11 miles of beach, several hiking trails, a beautiful coastline, lighthouses etc. The park also hosts seasonal events and summer concerts that are free and open to the public.
We visited this place in May 2021, booked a picnic pavilion and spent a whole day here biking, hiking, picnicking, getting our feet wet at the beach and more.
