Franklin Island Conservation Area Access provides vehicle access via dirt county roads (CR 444, 446, and 465) to multiple parking lots and a boat launch on the Missouri River near the mouth of Bonne Femme Creek.

The 1,626-acre area offers primitive camping at designated lots, road-based wildlife viewing, and river access, though dirt roads may become impassable during high water or muddy conditions.

This historic site, where Lewis and Clark camped in 1804, features diverse habitats including bottomland forest, wetlands, and open fields suitable for birding and fishing.
