About

Johnson Ford Road is a boat launch in Kentucky, about 6.4 miles from the town of Owingsville. It serves as a put-in spot for getting a boat onto the water in this corner of the state. For comfortable weather, late spring and early fall are the best bets. Typical averages from the nearby Cave Run Lake weather station show May highs around 75°F and September highs near 79°F, with fewer wet days in September and October than in spring. Paddlers can look to the Slate Creek Blue Water Trail, a canoeing route about 6.8 miles away. For time on foot, the White Sulphur Correct hike sits roughly 9.8 miles from the launch.
