At Crooked Lake is a 1972 album released by the group Crazy Horse. The album marked the departure of guitarist and former Rockets member George Whitsell, as well as organ player John Blanton. In their place for this album were Rick and Michael Curtis.

Record World said that the album "often successfully recaptures the early-middle Byrds sound."[3]

Record World reviewed the single "Rock and Roll Band" and said that "always known for quality material and performance, group could be ready to break."[4]
