About This Access Site
Crookneck Lake is a 183-acre lake in Morrison County offering a public boat ramp on the west end for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters. With a maximum depth of 22 feet and 2.75 miles of shoreline, the lake is relatively shallow overall—approximately 75 percent of the lake is 15 feet or less in depth, making it suitable for various water activities. The ramp itself is well-maintained but has limited parking available, so plan accordingly during peak use times.

The lake supports diverse fishing opportunities, including walleye, northern pike, largemouth bass, and panfish species (bluegill, crappie, and perch), making it popular with anglers. Paddlers can expect moderate conditions on this smaller inland lake. Check local wind conditions before launching, as wind can impact paddle comfort on a lake of this size.
