The park is the largest undeveloped stretch of land overlooking Lake Erie in Pennsylvania.

[1] It features bluffs approximately 90 feet (27 m) tall, patches of old-growth forest, rare, endangered and threatened plant species, a "world-class" steelhead fishery, a savanna ecosystem, wetlands and several archaeological sites.

Their goal was to survey the forests, streams, and beaches of the park for every species of wild bird, fish, reptile, mammal, amphibian, plant, and insect that they could find.

Add Erie Bluffs to Presque Isle State Park and the Tom Ridge Environmental Center and you have a trifecta – a winning combination of recreational and educational experiences that will be an economic engine for this region.

[3]The land on which Erie Bluffs State Park is located was acquired in 2004 by the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy from Reliant Energy.
