2022 Map of East Crooked Lake

About this map

East Crooked Lake and Waboose Lake anchor this Hubbard County landscape, where the glacial geography of Minnesota's northern woods is crisscrossed by an extensive network of modern recreational and forest roads. The terrain is defined by its numerous water bodies, including Crooked Lake, Coon Lake, and Crow Wing Lake, which are linked by winding paths like the Round River Drive Trl and the Martineau Recreational Trails Trl. The presence of the North Country National Scenic Trl cutting through the northern sections emphasizes the area's role as a contemporary outdoor destination. Many routes, such as Steamboat Forest Rd and Thorpe Tower Forest Rd, hint at the historic and ongoing importance of timber management in these townships. Settlement patterns are concentrated along arterial routes like Co Hwy 2 and Hubbard Co Rd 85, where smaller residential clusters and drives like Washboard Rd and Heritage Rd have developed near the lakefronts.
