Discover Presque Isle

Welcome to the official website of the Presque Isle Partnership!

Our Mission

The mission of the Presque Isle Partnership is to enhance the Presque Isle visitors' experience by developing, funding and implementing projects and programs on the Park, while protecting the natural environment.

About the Partnership

The Presque Isle Partnership began in 1994 in an effort to make Presque Isle State Park a better park. The organization works to improve the environment and educate the public on the value of the park's delicate ecosystem.  Since we began, we have raised funds for a variety of enhancements at Presque Isle ranging from interpretive educational panels at Perry Monument, the PI Lighthouse and Waterworks, to a state-of-the-art creative playground in the Waterworks area that promotes healthy fun to adults and kids alike.
