Lakes & Rivers / Crooked Creek
Blue-ribbon small mouth stream
Described as "the blue-ribbon smallmouth stream of the state," Crooked Creek
originates near Marble Falls in Newton County, flows north and then east through
Boone County and continues east across Marion County where it empties into the White
River. Deep pools, fast chutes and clear water characterize Crooked Creek. Along the
way, it passes through the communities of Harrison, Pyall, and Yellville, but most of
its journey travels through rural countryside featuring rolling hills, cedar glades,
bluffs, bottomland thickets and lush pasturelands.
In addition to its nationally known smallmouth fishery, Crooked Creek also
provides habitat for many other species including channel catfish and several
varieties of sunfish. Crooked Creek also provides a rich habitat for beaver, mink,
deer, water-oriented birds including kingfishers,
ospreys and great blue herons.
While the stream's upper reaches offer opportunities for wade-fishing and
occasional float trips, most recreational use along Crooked Creek occurs in the lower
50 miles blow Pyatt. A favorite of many smallmouth anglers is the Pyatt to Yellville
section on Crooked Creek. See our Fishing section for more details on fishing Crooked
Creek.
Nearly every acre along Crooked Creek is privately owned. Floaters should take
special care to avoid potential trespassing problems.
