More from Poinsett Summers
Jun 14, 2016
Our May/June issue includes a feature on Lake Poinsett, where well-known photographer Greg Latza and his family are the newest residents of a lake community that has attracted people to its shore for centuries. Latza sent us several beautiful photos taken the last few summers. We couldn’t use them all, so here are some that didn’t make the magazine.
-
The Nitteberg family ran Stone Bridge Resort at Lake Poinsett a century ago, and maintained a fleet of 50 wooden rowboats. Today’s vessels are more varied. -
