The East Crooked Lake public access site is a developed boat ramp located on the northeast shore of this 264-acre lake in Brighton, Livingston County. The site offers a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters, with parking available for approximately 15 vehicles and trailers. Basic amenities include pit toilets and picnic areas, making it suitable for day trips on the water.
With a maximum depth of 73 feet, East Crooked Lake provides good conditions for various water activities. The ramp's northeast location positions it well for exploring the lake and potentially connecting to nearby waterways—the site sits across from the mouth of Crooked River, making it a potential starting point for paddlers interested in exploring between Crooked and Burt Lakes. Note that parking is limited, so arriving early during peak seasons is recommended. For current conditions and specific amenities, contact the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR), which operates this public access site.
