Erie, Pennsylvania sits along the shores of Lake Erie. Both the city and the lake are named after the Erie Tribe that once inhabited the area. Today, with a population of around 102,000, it’s the fourth-largest city in the state and the seat of government for Erie County.

While manufacturing once drove the economy in Erie, today it is focused more on health care, education, and tourism. In fact, one of the biggest draws of the area is Presque Isle State Park. Around 4 million people visit the 3,112-acre state park every year, which makes it the most-visited park in the state. The park has 13 beaches, 21 miles of trails, and is a popular spot for boating, swimming, hiking, and birdwatching.
