Our little salt free Ocean, Lake Erie
You don’t have to leave Pennsylvania to find a beach that feels like the edge of the world. This is Presque Isle State Park on Lake Erie, our own freshwater coastline. It’s one of the only places in the state where you can stand barefoot in the sand, listen to waves roll in, and watch the sun melt into the horizon.
The trees that grow along the beach here have weathered decades of wind and storms off the Great Lake, their roots gripping the sand like they’re holding onto history itself. On a calm morning, it’s quiet enough to forget you’re still in Pennsylvania.
