Looking for a weekend getaway in the Midwest? Look no more... Persque isle state park is a perfect destination for weekend fun in the Midwest. We rather stumbled upon this beautiful park during our short stay in Erie PA on our way to Niagara Falls. We had a fun filled afternoon at this state park. I liked walking various trails around the park. Each trail had something different to offer right from beautiful views to marsh lands. Pick a picnic spots through out the park or a beach of your choice to enjoy an afternoon.
We as a family thoroughly enjoyed quite beaches and sunset. Best part was where my kids and I collected smooth stones around the beach. This state park has a lighthouse, Perry's Monument( smaller than the one in Put-in-bay), boat / bike rentals, boat tours, oh yes and a water taxi too!!
