Paddle Without Pollution Tuesday announced The Making of the Presque Isle Water Trail film would debut at the Tom Ridge Environmental Center in Erie on June 27 at a premiere launch party.

The film documents the work of PWP, state agencies, and other organizations as they planned the Presque Isle Water Trail over the last year and a half.

The film includes interviews with key personnel; footage of kayakers, canoeists, and stand-up paddleboarders; intimate views of wildlife; and information about launch sites for paddling at Presque Isle and how water trails can benefit local communities.

The film’s funders include the Department of Conservation of Natural Resources, The Foundation for Pennsylvania Watersheds, The Erie Community Foundation, and Pennsylvania Environmental Council. The Presque Isle Water Trail is nearing the end of its planning stage. Financial support was provided by the DCNR.

“The purpose of this film, the result of more than 2000 hours of work, is to get people excited about the water trail; to showcase the beauty and recreational opportunities of Presque Isle State Park; and to explain the process of planning and developing a water trail,” said David Rohm, Executive Director of Special Operations of PWP and the film’s producer/editor. “We hope the documentary and the water trail will encourage stewardship of our natural resources and promote ecotourism in the Erie area.”
