Franklin Island Conservation Area Access provides a boat ramp and parking area (Lot D) on the Missouri River with primitive camping available.

The 1,626-acre MDC-owned area features multiple access points via dirt county roads, with scenic views of bottomland forest, wetlands, and Bonne Femme Creek; note that CR 444 and CR 446 may become impassable due to high water and mud.

This location is notable for its habitat diversity and historical significance as a Lewis and Clark expedition campsite (June 7, 1804).
