## Frequently Asked Questions — Crooked Lake

### Is Crooked Lake a private or public lake?

Crooked Lake is a private, all-sports lake in Texas Charter Township southwest of Kalamazoo. There is no Michigan DNR public boat launch — access is limited to shoreline property owners and their guests. That's the lake's defining feature compared to nearby Eagle, Long, and Gourdneck lakes.

### How big is Crooked Lake?

Crooked Lake covers roughly 110-147 acres (sources vary; check with the lake association for the latest survey) with a maximum depth around 50 feet. Deep enough for boats and water sports; small enough to know your neighbors.

### What fish are in Crooked Lake?

Anglers report largemouth and smallmouth bass, rock bass, bluegill, crappie, and yellow perch. Typical warm-water SW Michigan inland lake fishery.

### Who manages the lake on Crooked?

The Crooked Lake Texas Association Inc. (crookedlaketexas.com, 1441 E Crooked Lake Dr, Kalamazoo MI 49009) is the homeowners association. Recent lake-wide chemical and algae treatments plus a multi-year flooding mitigation effort with the Kalamazoo County Drain Commissioner (shared with neighboring Eagle Lake) are the active community issues. As of fall 2025 the lake was tracking just below its established Normal Lake Level.

### Why does dockside delivery make sense on a private lake like Crooked?

Private lakes like Crooked don't have public marinas with fuel docks, so the alternative is trailering your boat out, driving to a gas station, fueling, and trailering back — or hauling cans by hand. Dockside Fuel Services brings REC-90 right to your dock, which is exactly the use case private all-sports lakes were designed for.

### How do I get on the Crooked Lake weekly fuel delivery route?

Text CROOKED to (877) 257-FUEL. Reply Y to confirm SMS delivery alerts and we add you to Crooked Lake's weekly route. No credit card required to join — pay only when you actually order fuel. You can also sign up online at docksidefuelservices.com if you prefer.

### What kind of fuel do you deliver to Crooked Lake?

REC-90 ethanol-free marine gasoline — the recommended fuel for boats, jet skis, pontoons, side-by-sides, generators, and most outdoor power equipment. The lack of ethanol prevents phase separation in tanks that sit unused for stretches, which protects engines on lakeside properties that don't see daily use.

### How many gallons can be delivered to Crooked Lake in one day?

Up to 780 gallons per route (700-gallon truck plus 80-gallon Fuel Mule). Reservations are first-reserve, first-fill — once Crooked Lake's weekly route fills up, additional requests join a FIFO waitlist and auto-promote when a reservation cancels.

### Is there a delivery minimum on Crooked Lake?

No minimum gallons — the trip fee ($30 dockside or $15 curbside) is the same whether we fill 5 gallons or 100. Most customers order 20-50 gallons per trip. The flat trip fee covers the cost of bringing the truck to your lake; per-gallon pricing is the current REC-90 market rate plus $1.49/gal.
