Fun Summer Road Trip

Summer is in full swing, and we here at Starr’s Trailer Sales hope it has been a good one! If you are looking for something new and fun to do this weekend, might we suggest taking a trip up to Erie, Pennsylvania to visit the famous Presque Isle State Park! There is something for everyone at Presque Isle, from breathtaking views, 11 miles of beach, camping, outdoor activities and much more! In this post we will highlight some of Presque Isle’s key features as well as where you can camp!

Beaches

With miles of beach line and several beaches to choose from, Presque Isle provides the opportunity for families and friends alike to find a beach that suits them. All beaches feature lifeguards, which is very reassuring to families who want to bring children with them. Many beaches also feature amenities such as beach volleyball, concession stands, restrooms and picnic areas. Go have a blast on the beaches of Presque Isle, and don’t forget your sunscreen!

Recreation

Presque Isle is not all about the beaches. There is plenty of outdoor recreation to appeal to even the biggest outdoor lover. If taking in the scenery and walking trails is your thing, Presque Isle features numerous trails of different distances and features. Want to be out on the water? Presque Isle permits both non-powered and registered powered crafts. Boat rentals are also available. The marina offers canoes, kayaks, small motorboats and pontoon boats for rent. One of the more popular activities at Presque Isle is fishing.
