Perry Monument

Perry Monument is located on the Presque Islands, Eerie, PA. This monument was erected to commemorate the victory of American forces lead by Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry over the British. This victory was a morale booster for America in the Independence struggle. I visited the place during noon and there was not much rush... I was on the way to Columbus from Niagara. The island is a great get away place for the families, good for cycling, plenty of place to unwind and relax.

Very pretty area and interesting monument. There is some signage around that gives you information. The monument is beautiful and very large in person. It is in a quaint and beautiful part of the island with water and lots of nature. Great place to come and relax.

Excellent. Marvelous. A very beautiful place to enjoy the beauty and calmness of nature. I just love the place. Very good for cycle lovers and skaters. Also if you want you can go for a rented boat ride, that enhance the facilities to a higher level along with that quadruple family cycle ride. Very exciting place for nature lovers only.

Took a day trip and rode on the Lady Kate boat tour. I used to work at PI and never had the opportunity. The tour is very similar to the free pontoon boat lagoon tour that the park gives, but you get to go out on the lake. It was a gorgeous day and we had a lovely time. The price was decent also. Other photos are of sunset beach (kite beach) and gull point from the tour. Perry monument itself has wayside information, paths and flush toilet restrooms. The park is free to enter. The tour tickets can be bought in advance, online for the Lady Kate trip.

We love going to Perry Monument so our kids can run around and we can soak up some nature. Our daughter essentially learned to walk here 😉. It's a great place to visit for some sun and lake vibes. The geese are kind (to us they have been at least!) and it's very beautiful there. Our daughter now likes to look at the historical fact checkpoints and we try to teach her the history of the location. We also visit on rainy days because it's a just a different experience!

Cool little spot at the very end of Presque Isle! Dead man's cove and graveyard pond are super neat attractions and it's very cool to learn about the battle that took place here during the war of 1812

Beautiful and tranquil place with plenty of picnic tables. Great spot for fishing and it has a bike trail as well. You can take the boat for a tour from here as well. Had a great picnic with great views

Pretty park and monument on Presque Isle, worth a stop!
