We're starting to see the light after a long winter! This is a transition month for the seasons, so make the most of the last days of winter and — fingers crossed! — the first glimpses of a beautiful spring coming our way this March.

Every season at Presque Isle is magical, and these waning of winter is no exception. Enjoy scenic views and search for the first signs of spring on trails.

On mild days, let your kids burn off some energy outside. For the more adventurous, a snowy playground adds a whole new layer of fun!
