The North Fork Crooked River is a tributary, 46 miles (74 km) long, of the Crooked River in the U.S. state of Oregon.[2] 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 111 miles (179 km) upstream of where the Crooked River flows into the Deschutes River.[3]
In 1988, Congress added a large fraction of the river to the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. About 12 miles (19 km) were designated "wild", about 8 miles (13 km) "scenic", and about 13 miles (21 km) "recreational".[4] About 8 miles (13 km) of the upper river flowing through Big Summit Prairie was excluded from the Wild Rivers designation. It is private land used as livestock pasture.[5]
