Fish from shore or stream, bring your boat or hire a charter (we suggest Tiny Tim’s Charters or Bassin’ on the Bay). Marinas, boat launches and bait and tackle concessions dot Erie’s Bayfront. Northwest Pennsylvania is one of the country’s greatest angling destinations and Lake Erie, Presque Isle Bay and the surrounding creeks, streams, tributaries and ponds are the places to land your big catch! Cast your line for diverse game fish species including steelhead, trout, muskies, walleye, pan fish, pike, bluegill, smallmouth and largemouth bass, salmon, catfish, perch and crappies.

Fish Tips: Fishing enthusiasts are presented with a variety of options in the spring. Steelhead is plentiful from late September to early May in Lake Erie tributaries and creeks. In April, pan fish and bass are found in smaller ponds, while pike and muskies are seen in Presque Isle Bay depending on the ice melt. April also brings the arrival of trout season plus the appearance of bass and walleye in Lake Erie. All of the above mentioned fish species are available in May with the exception of Steelhead.

Smallmouth bass travel to Presque Isle Bay in May to spawn and June is heavy with trout, bluegill and inland pike.

BACK TO OUR ROOTS The history amassed in Pennsylvania is far-reaching. From the battlefields of wars to the innovative thinkers and their inventions that shaped us, Erie, Pennsylvania’s fourth largest city, played an important role in our nation’s history. Here you can re-live the Battle of Lake Erie, the French & Indian War and the Underground Railroad.

Erie County was formed in the 1800’s after Pennsylvania purchased the Erie Triangle from the U.S. Government in 1792 for approximately $151,000. Taken from part of Allegheny County, the new county was then named for Lake Erie and the Eriez Native American Indian tribe, which was destroyed by a combination of pestilence and the Seneca nation under Chief Cornplanter in the mid-seventeenth century. The first European settlers in the area were the French, who built Fort Presque Isle on the city’s site in 1753. The French abandoned the fort to the English, who lost it in 1763 at the start of Pontiac’s Rebellion.

When General “Mad” Anthony Wayne induced the native tribes to make peace in 1794, the area was opened to settlement. The city was laid out in 1795 and became a port in 1801. In 1813, in what is often referred to as Erie’s proudest historical moment, Commodore Oliver Perry defeated the British in the Battle of Lake Erie. Most of Commodore Perry’s ships were built in Erie.

Learn about Erie’s rich waterfront heritage at the Erie Maritime Museum through historical artifacts, exhibits and interactive hands-on displays illustrating the War of 1812 and Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry’s victory over the British during the Battle of Lake Erie. The museum is also the home port of the U. S. Brig Niagara, the Official Flagship of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. When in port, the Niagara is an educational resource for many and conducts interpretive tours. Erie’s wealth of history doesn’t stop there. Downtown Erie includes several historic sites including the 1839 Greek Revival bank building of the Erie Art Museum, the mid-19th century Erie County History Center and the newly renovated Hagen History Center (formerly known as

Other notable Erie County historical sites: • Erie Cemetery/Cemetery Walks • Gigi’s Route 6 Heritage Center • Goodell Gardens & Homestead • The Grape Discovery Center • Hurry Hill Farm & Maple Syrup Museum • The Land Lighthouse and various memorials/tributes and historical markers (see the following page for complete lists).

the Watson-Curtze Mansion) located on historic West Sixth Street “Millionaire’s Row”. If time permits, an interesting side trip in Erie County could include a trip to one of Erie County’s mid-1800’s vintage covered bridges: Harrington and Brotherton’s Crossing or a stop in Waterford PA to see the only statue of George Washington in a British uniform.

The statue commemorates Major George Washington’s mission to Fort LeBoeuf to request the French to recognize Britain’s claim to the area. France’s refusal led to the French & Indian War. The Fort LeBoeuf Historical Society/Judson House includes a model of the original fort, numerous exhibits on American Indians and the French and British fur trade.

Erie County was formed in the 1800’s after Pennsylvania purchased the Erie Triangle from the U.S. Government in 1792 for approximately $151,000.

The new county was then named for Lake Erie and the Eriez Native American Indian tribe, which occupied the shoreline more than 140 years earlier. The first European settlers in the area were the French, who built Fort Presque Isle on the city’s site in 1753. The French abandoned the fort to the English, who lost it in 1763 at the start of Pontiac’s Rebellion. When General “Mad” Anthony Wayne induced the native tribes to make peace in 1794, the area was opened to settlement.

The city was laid out in 1795 and became a port engaged principally in the salt trade. The city’s history through 19th century was dominated by harbor activity.

WINES, BREWS & CHEWS WINES

Pennsylvania’s moderate climate and rolling terrain provides some of the best grape growing conditions on the East Coast.

With approximately 14,000 acres of grapes, Pennsylvania ranks 4th nationally in the amount of grapes grown and 8th in wine production. Take the scenic route outside Erie and head east on the Great Lakes Seaway Trail an America’s Byway™ to experience the 25 distinct wineries of Lake Erie Wine Country that span PA and NY along the southern shores of Lake Erie. The warm waters of Lake Erie are ideal for grape growing and the proof is in the award-winning wines ranging from Vidal Blanc, Riesling, Country Reds and Whites to Dutch Apple, Blueberry and Ice Wines. Stops at Arrowhead Wine Cellars, Courtyard Winery, Lakeview Wine Cellars, Mazza Vineyards, Penn Shore Vineyards, Presque Isle Wine Cellars, and South Shore Wine Company are highly recommended. Five & 20 Spirits & Brewing in neighboring Westfield, NY offers premium wines in addition to their high-quality small-batch craft distilled beverages. Finish up at The Grape

44

Discovery Center to learn about the oldest and largest Concord grape-growing region in the world. The grape harvest season culminates in late September with the annual Wine Fest. Tours and tastings are offered year-round.

BREWS

Where there is water, hops and

barley, there are brewers.

The Erie region is home to four breweries: Erie Ale Works, Erie Brewing Company, The Brewerie at Union Station and

Lavery Brewing Company. Each brewery refines their beer from simple ingredients, mixing in a passion for their craft with a personable twist that gives uniqueness to an ever-expanding assortment of flavors, styles and funky names. Grab a growler or a pint of Railbender Ale, Mad Anthony’s APA, Apparition Amber Ale, Liopard Oir or Gutterball. Tours and tastings are available at most facilities, giving visitors the opportunity to learn the process, meet the brewers and sample award-winning beers.

Call us at 800-524-3743 to order a free copy of the Lake Erie Ale Trail brochure and tour all four breweries!

CHEWS

The Erie area restaurant scene has plenty of traditional and non-traditional dining options; a treasure trove of tastes. Sit down for an elegant dinner or grab something on the go. From fine dining, casual dining, family-friendly and fast foods to ethnic restaurants and a variety of unique dining experiences.

End your winery or brewery tour and dine at any one of Erie’s fine restaurants including: • 1201 Kitchen • The Bayfront Grille • Betrand’s Bistro • Cloud 9 Wine Bar • Cork 1794 • Latino’s • Mad Mex • The Pufferbelly • Rum Runners • Rum Runners Cove • Sara’s • Smugglers Wharf • U Pick 6 Tap House • U Pick 6 Public House • Victor’s.
