Crooked River Lock Schedule
The Crooked River will be open to boating traffic starting Friday, June 26, 2026. While the river is open, conditions remain elevated. No Wake restrictions will be strictly enforced to prevent further damage to shoreline properties. Sheriff Matt Leirstein reminds boaters that compliance is not optional: “Slow down, follow No Wake laws, and be mindful of residents along the river.”
