Presque Isle State Park

Presque Isle State Park is one of Millcreek Township's largest community assets; driving over 4 million annual visitors through the township. In order to best support the community of Millcreek and this one of a kind state park, Millcreek is enacting the Presque Isle Gateway Plan. This plan will redevelop the gateway district to something unique and special for both residents, visitors and the local economy. Planning work has been underway since 2016. Read more about it here.
