Drakes Creek Recreational Opportunities Drakes Creek Recreational Master Plan Drakes Creek has the potential for many recreational opportunities to be developed at access points, located at road crossings. Recreational area sites were determined by the quality of vegetation along the creek at crossings and visual water quality. Designated put-in/take-out areas for boaters were chosen by the same criteria, but located up stream and down stream in sections of Drakes Creek that holds characteristic value of the Franklin-Simpson County rural landscape.

Recreational Park The park is located at the intersection of Salmons-Blackjack Road. and Sportsman Lake Rd. This location was chosen because of proximity of downtown Franklin; existing site features, such as an old mill ruin next to Drakes Creek and favorable topography around the creek to accommodate put-in/take-out areas for boating recreation. There is also a large existing woodland that could support other outdoor activities such as camping and hiking.
