White Oak Lake features a concrete boat ramp located approximately 3/4 mile south of Deer River, accessible via a series of turns from the Rajala Timber Company on the west side of town.

The shallow lake (averaging 6 feet deep) is best suited for small boats and canoes, and the ramp provides reliable access for paddlers and anglers year-round.

This is a popular access point for both summer boating and winter activities, with the lake typically being the first to freeze and last to thaw in the area.
