At 183 acres, Crookneck Lake ranks among the smaller lakes in the Lincoln Lakes Area. It features 2.75 miles of shoreline, with a maximum depth of 21 feet and an average depth of 8.9 feet; approximately 75 percent of the lake is 15 feet or less in depth. The boat access on the west end is well-maintained but has limited parking available.

According to the Department of Natural Resources office in Little Falls, largemouth bass are the primary draw, thriving among abundant aquatic vegetation. Bass measuring up to and exceeding 20 inches can still be found, but anglers are encouraged to limit their harvest as reproduction is limited and the overall population is low. An abundant northern pike population likely impacts the bass numbers; with most in the mid 20-inch range with a few over 30 inches, providing good opportunities for catching eating-size fish. Increased harvest of these smaller pike is recommended due to their effect on the fish community.

Crookneck Lake is a great spot to spend the morning seeking that trophy bass, with ample opportunities for anglers to engage in friendly competition.
