ERIE, Pennsylvania — A handful of days after the end of summer, the warm weather is lingering, which makes you pine for Sara’s Restaurant to be open still as you enter Presque Isle State Park.

The restaurant, located next to Sara’s Campground, was bustling less than two weeks ago with locals, tourists, campers, and day trippers who stopped to grab one of the famous milkshakes, sit on the picnic benches with their families, and catch one last moment of the end of summer.
