Franklin Island Conservation Area Access provides a boat ramp and parking area (Lot D) on the Missouri River near the mouth of Bonne Femme Creek, with additional access points via dirt county roads (CR 444 and 446) that may become impassable during high water.

The 1,626-acre area offers primitive camping at multiple lots and vehicle access via dirt roads for viewing diverse habitats including bottomland forest, wetlands, and open fields.

Note that roads through the area are dirt and can be muddy, particularly after high water events.
