Welcome to The Crooked Lake Noble Whitley Co. Indiana
Our History
Crooked Lake is a glacial shield lake formed approximately 12,000 years ago by the retreating Wisconsin glacier. The lake is comprised of 208 acres and is 110 feet deep. It lies at the top of the Tippecanoe Watershed whose waters ultimately form the Tippecanoe River, which in turn empties into the Wabash River, Ohio River, and Mississippi River before emptying into the Gulf of Mexico. It is arguably one of the cleanest natural lakes in all of Indiana, and is noted for its Cisco population. The Cisco species of fish are endangered and therefore protected. They are found in only 2 or 3 lakes in Indiana.. Crooked Lake has an average depth of 43 feet and drains one square mile of surrounding land. The smaller lake, called Little Crooked, covers 13 acres and rep-resents 4% by volume of the water in the entire lake.

Our first family (Mom, Whitley & Dad, Noble and three chicks) of Ospreys arrived in the Summer of 2018. Our two parents returned in 2019, 2020, 2021 2022, 2023 and now 2024. Up until this year, the routine had stayed the same, each year 3 healthy chicks all the way to migration. One observer from Iowa remarked: “Crooked Lake is becoming an efficient Osprey factory.” Cameras monitor the nest 24/7, and can be viewed live on ‘You Tube’ under “Crooked Lake Ospreys.,” OR by selecting “Tim Dygert Live.”
