North Fork Crooked River
The North Fork Crooked River is a tributary, long, of the Crooked River in the U.S. state of Oregon. Beginning in the Ochoco National Forest and the Ochoco Mountains east of Prineville, it flows north, then east, then south-southwest to meet the larger stream between Post and Paulina. The confluence is upstream of where the Crooked River flows into the Deschutes River.
In 1988, Congress added a large fraction of the river to the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. About were designated "wild", about "scenic", and about "recreational". About of the upper river flowing through Big Summit Prairie was excluded from the Wild Rivers designation. It is private land used as livestock pasture.
