Beautiful Upper Crooked Lake is a 735-acre all-sports lake nestled in the quaint town of Delton, MI. Upper Crooked enjoys the lowest boat traffic of the four largest lakes in the Barry County area and is part of a chain of lakes surrounded by the Michigan State Nature Preserve (Lux Arbor). Wildlife is abundant with swans, geese, cranes, and loons present all summer long. This lake is also known for its great fishing including Large-mouth Bass, Pike, Yellow Perch, Sunfish, Bluegill, and Crappie.
We are looking for a small, trusted group of families and responsible adults to rent when we are not enjoying Crooked Lake Lookout ourselves.
