Erickson
Erickson is situated on Highway #10 en route to Riding Mountain National Park and is surrounded by an agricultural community of the Rural Municipality of Clanwilliam. "The Land of the Vikings" was originally settled by Scandinavian people, but now includes descendants of various ethnic and cultural groups. Erickson is nestled in very scenic countryside with Leda Lake in the background. The surrounding area is truly a hunter's and fisherman's haven as many lakes dot the area and some such as (Ditch) Gertrude, Kerr, and Otter Lakes, have fully developed cottage facilities.

Riding Mountain National Park
Riding Mountain National Park, situated just 10 minutes north of Erickson, has many experiences to offer. Whether you are seeking the solitude of a quiet campsite on a secluded lake, or enjoy the company of fellow campers in their full service campground, the Park has something to offer you. Riding Mountain National Park is home to the greatest diversity of wildlife in southwestern Manitoba. Moose, elk, deer and bears are frequently seen, while lucky visitors can be treated to a view of lynx and wolves. The Park's service center, Wasagaming, has a number of points of interest, including the Visitor Center and the English Gardens. If you are planning to visit, be sure to check out their website.

Please note: A park pass is necessary for entry into the park.
