Lake Day Atlas

Presque Isle State Park curves out from Erie, creating an exposed lake shore and a sheltered bay side. That contrast lets visitors choose a sandy beach day, a bike ride or a quieter look at the wetlands.

On the water

Plan your lake day

Use the park’s numbered beaches to choose a meeting place. Cycle part of the peninsula first, then stop at an open swimming beach or take a picnic to the bay side.

Field notes

Before you go

Read the daily beach postings before swimming. Several beaches share one park entrance, and conditions or lifeguard coverage can differ between them.
