Our Community:
Erskine is a wonderful community nestled at the edge of several
lakes and two major highways. Erskine is the hub for education and
healthcare for
surrounding towns. Since several lakes are in the
immediate vicinity of Erskine, the town serves as a nice quaint
place for visitors, cabin owners and lake home residents to enjoy
golfing, a nice
meal, and buy
bait. Summers are
filled with swimming and boating on Lake Cameron, autumn is gorgeous
with fishing, hunting, and enjoying bird migration, while winters on
Lake Cameron are fun filled with ice car
racing and snowmobiling.
