Crooked Lake[1] is a recreational lake located in the south-eastern region of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It is part of a chain of lakes in the Qu'Appelle Valley and, like many of the other lakes in the valley, there's a dam at the eastern end that controls water levels.[2]

The majority of the southern and western shores of the lake are undeveloped and part of First Nation Indian reserves. Most of the development is along the northern and eastern shores and includes cabins, resorts, campgrounds, beaches, and several communities, including Moose Bay, Sunset Beach, Exner's Twin Bays, Melville Beach, and Grenfell Beach. Access to the lake and most of its amenities is from Highway 247.[3]
