Erie Bluffs State Park is a 587-acre (238 ha)[2] Pennsylvania state park in Girard and Springfield Townships, Erie County, Pennsylvania in the United States. The park is the largest undeveloped stretch of land overlooking Lake Erie in Pennsylvania. Erie Bluffs State Park is just north of Pennsylvania Route 5 near Lake City and 12 miles (19 km) west of Erie. It is one of Pennsylvania's newest state parks.[2]

The park was one of four Pennsylvania State Parks in the path of totality for the solar eclipse of April 8, 2024, with 3 minutes and 44 seconds of totality.[4]
