Presque Isle Lighthouse

Presque Isle State Park; Erie, Pennsylvania (August 3, 2003)

Pennsylvania doesn’t have very much coastline. It’s completely landlocked except for a scant 50-mile shore where a notch was taken from New York to provide it access to Lake Erie. A small peninsula along an otherwise smooth coastline juts into Lake Erie, and this is the location of Presque Isle State Park. The park has many activities including swimming, hiking, picnicking, and boating. It also has a number of lighthouses, of which the one shown above is probably the most picturesque (map).
