Pennsylvania’s Connection to the Great Lakes

The Port of Erie is Pennsylvania’s sole commercial port connected to the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Seaway. Offering valuable connections between the Tri-State Area, rail and interstates, the Great Lakes and the global market, the Port moves everything from bulk materials to massive project cargo.

Under the Erie-Western Pennsylvania Port Authority, the Port prioritizes both industrial capabilities — including one of the Great Lakes’ largest dry docks — and public recreation spaces, like Dobbins Landing and the Liberty Park-Rebich Investments amphitheater.
