Crooke Marina sits within Crooke Village, a small hamlet on the north side of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal near Wigan, in the area of Standish Lower Ground within the parish of Shevington.

The marina serves as a key access point on this stretch of canal, which also runs alongside the River Douglas.

The marina is one of several mooring options in the Crooke area, alongside the Crooke Cruising Club, the Crooke Hall Inn, and a handful of other canal-frontage sites. It offers both in-marina and canal-frontage moorings.

During summer months the village and canalside are popular with visitors who come to watch canal boats pass and enjoy the waterside setting.
