Directly across the bay from Presque Isle State Park, in Dunn Park, stands one of the oldest Great Lakes lighthouses, the Erie Land Lighthouse. It was established in 1819, and the current structure was built with large blocks of sandstone in 1867, on the sandy lakeshore at Erie, Pennsylvania.
Although the lighthouse has not been in operation since 1890, it is in a remarkably well preserved condition.
Directions:From Presque Isle State Park follow Lake Road East (Alt. 5) through downtown Erie, and turn left (north) on Lighthouse Street, which comes to a dead-end at Lake Erie and the lighthouse.
