About

Mouth of White Oak is a boat launch in Kentucky, about 6 miles from the town of Owingsville. It serves as a put-in for getting onto the water in this corner of the state. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to launch. Typical averages from the nearby Cave Run Lake weather station run to highs around 75°F in May and 79°F in September, with fewer wet days as the fall goes on. The Slate Creek Blue Water Trail, a canoeing route, lies about 6 miles away and makes a natural pairing for paddlers working the area.
