So, instead of giving you a complete walk through of Presque, I want to urge you just to go out there and explore it. My reasoning behind this is that Presque is about 2 square miles in total area, maybe a more, but not much. It is a peninsula, surrounded by a road that goes around the outside of the park, so its virtually impossible to get completely lost. Don't just stick to the trails here either, some of the best sites to discover are off the beaten path (just be respectful). Though Presque is very safe, still be cautious. There was a bear sighting this summer (though I was unable to find it) and there are wolves that wander in to feed on the numerous deer (which are very friendly). Most likely the only wildlife you will see there is a few deer, an assortment of birds (there is a falcon that frequents the area), some squirrels and maybe a rabbit. If you enjoy nordic skiing, all of the inner trails are good for that. Also, during the winter, the road that goes around the backside of the island is closed off for skiing. Don't let the snow stop you, presque is a great place for snowshoeing too. Get out there and explore!
