Visit Erie's State Park, Zoos, Amusement Parks and Art Museums.

In the top left corner of the state is a gem we like to call Erie. Erie is named after the Eriez Indian Tribe, which disappeared before the arrival of the white man. 

Erie’s Presque Isle State Park, located on peninsula jutting into the now clean and clear water of Lake Erie, is Pennsylvania’s top tourist attraction, drawing around four million visitors a year with seven miles of sandy, fresh-water beaches. Some year’s attendance averages have seen more visitors than Yellowstone National Park, yet Presque Isle never seems crowded because of the number of beaches and activities available.

Why Erie? The beautiful outdoors, the fun activities, the nice people and the terrific food. Some really great eats in Erie!
