Crooked Lake.
Crooked Lake sits in the Tupper Lake region — a 55-acre water with no public access data on file and no fish species reported in DEC surveys. The name suggests the usual meander or irregular shoreline, common enough in this part of the Park where glacial melt carved pockets and fingers into softer ground. Without a trailhead or boat launch in the state database, this one likely sits behind private holdings or requires a bushwhack from a nearby woods road. If you know the access or the fishing, it's worth a call to the DEC Region 5 office in Ray Brook to update the record.
Crooked Lake reaches a maximum depth of 13 feet, with a mean depth of 6 feet. Crooked Lake has public access. Summits nearby include Hollywood Mountain and Cary Hill.
