Among the cities of Pennsylvania, Erie stands out for its position on the southern shore of Lake Erie, where Presque Isle Bay shelters the waterfront. It is Pennsylvania’s only Great Lakes port, a role reflected in its working harbor and long ties to shipping and naval history. Presque Isle State Park occupies a sandy peninsula that curves into the lake, bringing beaches, trails and wetlands close to the city centre. The Erie Maritime Museum preserves the story of the U.S. Brig Niagara and the Battle of Lake Erie during the War of 1812.
