Oak Grove Park

Oak Grove Park offers the northernmost county boat ramp access on the Yellow River in Okaloosa County. This Florida Department of Environmental Protection-maintained facility provides a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters looking to explore the Yellow River. The ramp is well-positioned within the river's watershed and serves as a popular starting point for paddlers seeking access to this scenic waterway in the Florida Panhandle.

The site benefits from nearby amenities, including parking facilities and a protective cove setting that helps shield boats from strong currents or weather. Paddlers should note that McPherson Slough Boat Ramp, located just outside Oak Grove Park, offers additional features including a boat dock. Both facilities provide solid options for accessing the Yellow River, making this area ideal for day trips and extended paddling excursions. As with all Florida waterways, paddlers should be prepared for the subtropical river environment and check current conditions before launching.
