Located 5 miles north of Angola in Steuben County, Crooked Lake is one of the 101 lakes in Indiana's Northern Lakes Natural Area and is renowned for being a boating and fishing haven. Named for its gourd-like shape, Crooked Lake spans 802 acres and is one of the largest lakes in the area, surrounded by forests, woodlands, wetlands, and springs. The southern shore of the lake is home to Steuben County Park, which offers overnight and seasonal camping, picnicking, hiking trails, and other recreation, while the lake is well-stocked with a variety of fish such as bluegill, crappie, catfish, and trophy-size largemouth bass. Crooked Lake is also ideal for watersports such as pleasure and powerboating, canoeing and kayaking, jet-skiing, wakeboarding, and water-skiing.
