Whatever it is, where ever you go to make the best of life, we've got it.

Louisiana hasn't earned the name 'Sportsman's Paradise' for nothing. If it's fishing, hunting, boating, skiing, that you crave after the work day's done, it's all right here in the world-famous Atchafalaya Basin. 

More into the cultural scene? We've got local theatre, music,

And sports. We've got sports. Youth leagues, adult leagues, top-notch fields and parks. Our high school football teams are consistently in the championship playoffs.

From a thrilling day of big game fishing in the Gulf of Mexico to a relaxing hike through a federal wildlife reserve, a great play or piano recital, the City of Franklin and surrounding area are populated by people who work and play life to the fullest. Come and let us show you what we call living.

Access to the entire Atchafalaya Basin and West Cote Blanche Bay is centrally located at the Fairfax Foster Bailey Memorial Boat Landing, providing boat launch into the Franklin Canal and a short trip into the stunning ecological marvel of Louisiana's marshes and river deltas. 

Hunters, fishermen and recreational boaters alike can use the boat landing, with its adequate parking facility, to experience the wide world of sporting Louisiana has to offer...right from the Franklin city limits.
