The 99-acre Crane Lake is about four and a half miles off Highway E on a gravel road. Boat access (electric motors only), waterfront picnic area. Restrooms. No drinking water. The five-mile double loop Crane Lake National Recreation Trail crosses a variety of environments. This lake provides fishing opportunity for bass, sunfish, and catfish. Boats can be launched from a gravel ramp. Picnic sites are provided, but no camping is allowed. From Ironton, MO, take Hwy 21 south 12.5 miles. Turn east onto gravel County Road 124 at Chloride, MO, and go 3.2 miles to County Road 131. Turn south; go 1.9 miles to the lake. There are six picnic sites available, each with a table and pedestal grill.
