Crooked Lake Boat Launch

Michigan

About

Crooked Lake Boat Launch is a boat launch on Crooked Lake in Michigan, about a mile from the town of Delton. It is a simple point of access to the water rather than a trail, so there is no climb, distance or difficulty to plan around. Summer is the most comfortable time to head out. July typically brings highs around 85°F and lows near 62°F, while September cools to highs in the mid-70s, according to typical averages from a nearby weather station. For more time on the water, the Kalamazoo River Water Trail lies about 4 miles away and is a canoeing route. Hikers can find the Lake Loop roughly 7.6 miles from the launch.
