Tower climbs at Presque Isle and Erie Land Lighthouse are unavailable due to the forecasted heat this week.

Executive Director Averie Shaughnessy-Comfort tells us this decision was made for the safety of both visitors and staff.

Presque Isle lighthouse has 78 steps to the top, which she says can be exhausting for some people. 

Climbs will resume Saturday June 21st.

Shaughnessy-Comfort reminds all Presque Isle visitors to stay hydrated and take breaks from the sun.
