Carl Krey Lake in Victoria is a small, quiet lake of about 41 acres, up to about 15 feet deep, surrounded by hardwood forest and wetland.
It’s an environmental lake with no public access and no motors allowed, and a pair of trumpeter swans has made it home.
Here’s an honest look, whether you’re selling or buying nearby.
Around the lake
Lakebridge Park, just north of the lake, has a playground, basketball court, rentable shelter, ball fields and open space. Wasserman Lake and Piersons Lake are nearby, and Deer Run Golf Club, an 18-hole public course, is a short drive.
Life in Victoria
Victoria calls itself the City of Lakes and Parks. It has schools, a bank, places of worship, restaurants, shops and services, plus the Victoria Rec Center with an ice rink, walking track, fitness area, gym and classes. Lakebridge sits on the north side of the lake.
What buyers check before they tour
- Schools: Homes near this lake are generally served by Eastern Carver County Schools (ISD 112). Confirm the assigned schools for any address.
- On or near the water: For lake-view or lakeshore lots, ask about shoreline rules, docks, flood zones and any lake association.
- Condition: Roof, windows, mechanicals and drainage tell you more about a home’s next ten years than the paint color does. Plan a professional inspection.
