Fun is in our nature.
Located at the Gateway to the Sandhills in Ericson, Nebraska, Lake Ericson offers the finest Sandhills beauty to be found. Grab your family and come get immersed in the great oudoors. You'll quickly find out that fun is in our nature.
Beautiful Lake Ericson's scenic trails and pristine water offer you the opportunity to be fully immersed in nature. Whatever your idea of the "perfect day" is, you can find it here. From serene afternoon strolls, spectacular bird-watching, and relaxing sun-soaked naps on the beach to exciting fishing expeditions, hiking, biking, boating, swimming, and some of the best waterfowl hunting around.
Lake Ericson is a small community, but we love our little slice of heaven, and we love sharing it with others who live for chasing adventure and making memories. We might be biased, but the sun just seems brighter and the air fresher out here.
