Okaloosa County Road 189 is a county extension of State Road 189 in west central Okaloosa County. It spans from I-10 at Exit 45 in Holt as Log Lake Road, where it runs north to the hear of Holt, and turns east in a concurrency with US 90. The concurrency ends in Galliver, where CR 90 turns north and later ends at Florida State Road 4 in Baker, thus becoming a hidden concurrency with SR 4 until it branches off to the north as a state highway.
