Crooked Lake is located northeast of Barryton. It is about 260 acres in size and 75 feet deep in areas. The lake offers fishing opportunities for pike, crappie, perch, bass, bluegill and catfish to name a few. Ice fishing is popular in the winter months. Bait shops and boat rentals are located around the lake for your convenience. Several boat access points are located around the water.
Chippewa River
The northern, main branch, of the Chippewa River starts west of Barryton and makes its way through the area. The west branch joins in on the other side of town. Small mouth bass are a popular species on this river and get bigger the further down river you go. The water can sometimes be a little cloudy past the town of Mt. Pleasant. When this happens, you should try fishing closer to Barryton before the north and south sections converge.
