November is treating us well! 🍁

With mild temperatures and sunshine sticking around, it's the perfect time to explore the Bayfront Promenade. Grab a drink and enjoy a walk along the waterfront while taking in Erie’s beautiful fall scenery.

Cheers to making the most of these warm autumn days!

🎣 One More Day on the Water! 🚤

We're adding a "Bonus Day" to the 2026 season at Lampe Marina Public Launch Ramp!

The public launch ramp will remain open on Sunday, November 1, giving boaters one last opportunity to get out on the water before the season officially ends.

Please note that while the launch ramp will be open, no facilities will be available, including:

Fish cleaning station
Restrooms
Fuel station

The ramp will close at sundown on November 1 and remain closed for the season until May 1, when it reopens with a brand-new courtesy dock, funded in part by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission and the Erie Sports Commission

Looking for a few more late-season outings? Depending on weather conditions, the launch ramps at East Avenue and Chestnut Street will remain open for the next several weeks.

Thank you for another great boating season, and we look forward to seeing you back on the water next spring! ☀️⚓
