Erie County, Pennsylvania
Erie County is the only part of Pennsylvania that touches one of the Great Lakes. Lake Erie, to be specific. It’s up in the northwest corner of the state.
Erie is the county seat and is Pennsylvania’s fifth-largest city. Presque Isle State Park is the crown jewel here. Miles of beaches, right on the lake. It’s a summer hotspot.
The county has a rich maritime history. Check out the Erie Maritime Museum if that’s your thing. Gannon University and Penn State Behrend keep the area young and lively. Waldameer & Water World is a hit with families.
