Crooked Lake is a 627-acre natural lake in McLean County, North Dakota, located approximately 10 miles north, 0.2 miles east, and 0.1 miles south of Turtle Lake. The lake features 13.1 miles of shoreline and reaches a maximum depth of 18 feet, with an average depth of 9 feet. This productive fishery experienced a major winterkill event in 2023 but has been aggressively restocked and now supports an exceptional walleye year-class along with populations of northern pike, yellow perch, and bluegill. The lake's relatively shallow profile and varied structure, including weed edges, points, and irregular shoreline features, create diverse habitat for multiple species.
