We all have that place to get away and be free. A retreat. My retreat is the cabin, in Ericson, Nebraska. At the cabin away from the people, away from the social media, a person can have fun, explore, and be free. There’s a lot of great activities at the cabin, and great activities usually create great memories. The cabin as a retreat gives a person the opportunity to catch up with their inner selves.
The cabin allows for the opportunity for life to slow down. I wake up when I want, I eat when I want, I go to bed when I want. There are no alarms nor schedules. Everyday changes to how I want it to be. I’m in control, I got this.

There are multiple nature trails to go for a hike, back roads for walks, jogs and runs. The Cedar River goes right through the lake, making it available for many different activities. These events include canoeing, tubing, tanking, and kayaking. There’s a drop off spot under a bridge and a get out spot at one of the two campgrounds. Floating down the river itself could take a couple of hours, but you must include snack breaks, rest stops, and play breaks. Going down the river also includes the traditions.

Ten seconds have never felt so long before, once the time is up jump back in the river, it's a sauna. But if the opportunity to go down the river is not available there are other places to swim and play in the …show more content…
The Swimming Hole is not the only place to go swimming. If you have a dock or you have a friend that has a dock you can swim from there. Another place available for swimming is the dam, preferably below the dam. Although, while swimming down at the dam be sure to watch for fishermen and their pesky lures. Fishing is a very common activity to participate in. Fishing can take place at the boat dock, the handicap dock, a dock that you own or a friend is letting you borrow, and the most obvious, off of the banks and off of your boats, if you have one. If you’re skilled enough to catch any kind of turtle they can be put into the Ericson Turtle Races. Yes I know the turtle races sounds ridiculous, but they’re actually pretty fun and interesting. Turtles but into a ring and which ever ones makes it out first is the winners. Whoo Hoo. Plus, since it's kind of back to nature you can camp and tent, there are outhouses to
