Things to do
How did your bathing suit end up all the way back there?
Ever feel like it's not a proper vacation until you've gone screaming down a waterslide and got a decent amount of water stuck permanently in your ear? An Erie vacation rental won't disappoint. At Waldameer Park, they've got slides and a wave pool, plus roller coasters, thrill rides, and kids' attractions. To tone things down a notch, you could visit the U.S. Brig Niagara museum ship at the Erie Maritime Museum, or explore the modern art collection at the Erie Art Museum. Turn up at the right time, and you might just catch some blues or jazz courtesy of the gallery's concert series.
Activities
Pennsylvania's perfect peninsula paradise
There are lots of reasons to book an Erie vacation rental, but most of them can be summed up in 4 words: Presque Isle State Park. This idyllic peninsula arches out into Lake Erie, and provides Pennsylvania's very own little piece of vacation paradise. It's got sandy beaches for swimming and siestas, miles of hiking and biking trails, its own marina for boating and kayaking, and dedicated birdwatching areas. In fact, Gull Point Natural Area is reckoned to be one of the best places in the whole of the U.S. for spying on migratory birds.
Weather
Erie sees some winters, there's snow doubt about that
Does the term "snow belt" mean anything to you? Well, Erie's in one. Its location at the edge of the vast Lake Erie results in something called lake effect snow, which is complicated, but basically means that Erie regularly features among the snowiest cities in the whole of the States. Pack the parka and the furry hat if you're planning a winter trip. Fortunately, this same lakeside location means that while everyone inland is being broiled alive at the height of summer, the good people of Erie are enjoying cool breezes and fresh air. Fair's fair, after all.
Natural features
Let's hear it for the littlest sister of the Great Lakes
Erie is named after the lake that it's cozied up against. The smallest of the so-called Great Lakes, Lake Erie is just shy of 10,000 miles in surface area. Which still makes her the 13th largest lake in the world, and shows her big sisters for the behemoths they are. The fact that she's so shallow means she often freezes in winter. From the city of Erie, the sandy peninsula of Presque Isle arcs out into the lake, and features shoreline, dunes, marshes, and forest. It's rich wildlife-watching territory, especially for migratory birds who like to stop off at Gull Point.
