| Crystal Lake (Kuester’s Lake), 2 Views |
|
Crystal Lake is now known as Kuester Lake. This horseshoe shaped lake east of Grand Island was a popular weekend and summer getaway. Gradually it developed into a community of year-round homes, thanks in part to the presence of the Grand Island Saddle Club. The Saddle Club originally had stables attached to the clubhouse. The stables are gone, but the Saddle Club continues as a popular private club.
