Geocache Description:


The above coordinates are not the location of the cache. Answer the questions below for the actual cords to the cache.

The Presque Isle Lighthouse has been guiding ships travelling on Lake Erie since 1873.  As a new aid to navigation, the lighthouse was outfitted with a 4th Order Fresnel lens that was cared for by keepers employed by the United States Lighthouse Establishment.  These lighthouse keepers lived onsite, maintaining the grounds by day and keeping the light burning by night.  The Presque Isle Light has remained burning through many operational changes.  Throughout the years, the Light Station has been in the care of the Lighthouse Establishment, the United States Lighthouse Service, the United States Coast Guard, the state of Pennsylvania and most recently, the Presque Isle Light Station Corporation.  The light too has changed; in replace of the oil burning 4th Order Fresnel lens, the light now shines from a fully automated LED marine beacon.  It omits a flashing white light seen about 16 miles across the lake.   

In the warmer months, the Presque Isle Light Station Corporation offers tours of the Lighthouse.  For a small fee, you can experience this unique marine history of Erie, PA and enjoy the picturesque view of Lake Erie from atop the 78 winding iron steps – original to the lighthouse!  For more information and a tour schedule visit their website at presqueislelighthouse.org or call Presque isle State Park.
