Less than a mile down the road from the Bass Pro Shop on I-40, Lake Crabtree is a small fishing lake of 520 acres. This small lake has about 5 miles of shoreline. No gas-powered boats are allowed on the lake, so it is a great destination for fishing from a canoe, kayak or car-top boat. There is a fishing pier and a fishing platform with handicap accessibility. Anglers will find bass, crappie, bluegill and catfish in this shallow-water fishery.
