The town’s population grew substantially during the second half of the nineteenth century, due in part to the manufacture of terra cotta ceramics, many of which still adorn the famous Raue Center For the Arts in downtown Crystal Lake. The crowning jewel of the community is the crystal-clear lake for which the town is named. Visitors and locals alike can be found along its edges all summer long, swimming, sailing, fishing, and sunbathing. In the winter months, Crystal Lake locals indulge in snow sports, like ice skating at The Ice House and snowboarding at the Raging Buffalo Snowboard Park.
