Welcome to Owen County!

Owen County is truly the Heartbeat of the Golden Triangle.  Located entirely within the boundaries of I-75, I-71 and I-64, we are less than a one hour drive from Lexington, Louisville and Cincinnati, OH. 

Our county has a wealth of natural beauty with numerous lakes, streams and rolling ridges providing top quality fishing and hunting opportunities in the Commonwealth. 

The Kentucky River borders the entire western boundary of our county.  Eagle Creek, the world’s longest creek, flows through Owen County.  Elmer Davis Lake, managed by Kentucky Fish & Wildlife provides some of the best bluegill/crappie fishing in the state.

Elk Creek Hunt Club (External Link - You are now leaving the .gov domain.) provide professional bird hunting and shooting sports recreation. 

Visit Perry Park Golf Resort (External Link - You are now leaving the .gov domain.) and Fairway Golf Course (External Link - You are now leaving the .gov domain.) for group and individual play. 

We invite you to visit Elk Creek Vineyards (External Link - You are now leaving the .gov domain.), Kentucky’s largest winery, currently producing eighteen varieties of wine. 

These are just a few of the attractions that make Owen County a great place to visit and an even better place to live. So come and experience our great people and gracious rural atmosphere that is just minutes from everywhere. 

Our motto says it best: Owen County... Pretty - Quiet - Close.

Sweet Owen Day
 

In the past few years, our festival has grown tremendously with vendors from within and out of the county.

With so many things to do from shopping, kids playing on the inflatables or just coming out to enjoy some good food and music, there is something for the whole family.

Sweet Owen Day 2012  was a great day for all those that  attended.  We had wonderful food, great music and a large number of vendors.  Sweet Owen Day Committee would like to thank all who were involved and helped out that day.  We want to thank all of the bands, vendors, and the attendees for a great event.

Sweet Owen Day 2013 is the September 21st.  Mark your calendar and come join us again for a great time.  We look forward to seeing you.
