Presque Isle Named Among Nation’s Top State Parks for Fishing, Boating

Anglers and boaters have named Presque Isle State Park among the nation’s best state parks for fishing and boating in a national competition sponsored by the Recreational Boating & Fishing Foundation.

Presque Isle State Park is a 3,200-acre sandy peninsula that arches into Lake Erie. As Pennsylvania’s only “seashore,” Presque Isle offers its visitors a beautiful coastline and many recreational activities.

“There’s a lot of family fun happening at Presque Isle through easy, affordable access, and quality fishing, boating and other water sports,” Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Secretary Richard Allan said. “Those qualities are the keystone of this friendly competition, and they embody why Presque Isle State Park draws more than 3.7 million visitors each year – more visitors than some national parks receive.”
