We’ve turned lake days into a lifestyle.

We're all about sun, heat, and sandy feet, and we're sure you can find your idea of the perfect day here, too. Whether you're looking for some R&R or recreational risk-taking, Lake Ericson offers activities that run the gamut from serene to surreal.

Go for a peaceful early morning dip or get in the competitive spirit by joining our annual fishing tournament. Enjoy fishing, hunting, hiking, biking, kayaking, boating, swimming, tanking, and much more all with small-town Nebraska hospitality and beautiful panoramas you just can't find anywhere else.

TO PRESERVE, MAINTAIN & IMPROVE LAKE ERICSON TOGETHER WITH ITS WILDLIFE, NATURAL RESOURCES AND ECOSYSTEM.

Our Mission

We know how to have a good time.

Years ago, an old carousel at Lake Ericson was converted into a picnic shelter and now serves as the central hub of our little community. It marks entry into the lake and frequently hosts local events, activities, concerts, and celebrations. The carousel is our capitol building, and we can't think of a more fitting local landmark for a place epitomized by good times.

So to that we say, let the good times roll.
