Travel Guide to Presque Isle Lighthouse

Getting There

• Car

  Start your journey from any city in Atlantic Canada. If you are in Halifax, Nova Scotia, take the NS-102 N highway to connect with the Trans-Canada Highway (NS-104 W). Continue on NS-104 W until you reach the New Brunswick border and merge onto the Trans-Canada Highway (NB-2 W). Follow this highway through New Brunswick until you reach the Quebec border. Once in Quebec, merge onto Autoroute 20 W. Continue on Autoroute 20 W until you reach the Ontario border. From there, take ON-401 W towards Windsor. Keep following ON-401 W, then take exit 1 to merge onto ON-402 W towards Sarnia. Cross the border into the United States through the Blue Water Bridge. Follow I-69 N and take exit 127B to merge onto I-90 W towards Erie. Then take exit 24 for PA-5 W. Follow PA-5 W until you reach Presque Isle State Park, where the lighthouse is located at 301 Peninsula Dr, Erie, PA 16505. Remember to check for any tolls or crossing fees when traveling through the US border.

• Public Transportation

  If you are traveling via public transportation, your best option is to take a bus from Halifax, NS to Boston, MA. From Boston, you can take a Greyhound bus to Erie, PA. Once in Erie, you will need to use local public transit or a taxi to reach Presque Isle State Park. The local bus service, Erie Metropolitan Transit Authority (EMTA), operates routes that can take you close to the park. Ensure you check the bus schedules in advance, as service may vary. The bus fare varies, so be prepared for potentially multiple payment options during your travels.
