Discover Franklinton
Accommodation in Franklinton
Franklinton offers several distinct interests to explore: fair history, architecture, and golf. If you’d like to include water sports in your travel plans, Louisiana River Adventures offers tubing, kayaking, and canoeing on the Bogue Chitto River. These different highlights can help you decide the purpose of your stay before searching for a hotel.
History and Architecture
The Washington Parish Free Fair began in 1911 and is the second-oldest fair event in Louisiana. The Mile Branch Settlement is located on the Washington Parish Fairgrounds in Franklinton, where you can explore the cabins. This gives you two distinct cultural attractions to choose from: the history of a fair event and the cabins at the settlement.
Franklinton High School is one of only seven architectural landmarks within the Town of Franklinton and is an outstanding example of the Collegiate Gothic style. The style designation gives the building a precise architectural classification: Collegiate Gothic combines Gothic design elements with the architecture of educational buildings. The number describes its local classification, while the style designation identifies its specific architectural form.
Our Veterans Memorial Park offers visitors a place for quiet reflection in honor of veterans and loved ones. As a peaceful memorial site, it serves a different travel purpose from an event at the fairgrounds or an active excursion.
Golf and Water Activities
Franklinton Country Club has an 18-hole, par-72 golf course. It measures 6,470 yards from the longest tees; this figure refers specifically to those tees, not to every playing position. The number of holes, par, and stated length are distinct course details that help golfers assess the course before their trip. Operating details may change. If golf is the main purpose of your visit, check the club’s current information before your trip.
Louisiana River Adventures offers tubing, kayaking, and canoeing on the scenic Bogue Chitto River. Kayaking and canoeing are paddling activities; tubing is another way to experience the river. All three activities take place on the same river, so your choice depends on the type of activity you prefer. For directions, the outfitter recommends entering “Enon, Franklinton LA” into your GPS and following the signs from the traffic-light intersection in Enon. Check these directions before setting out if you plan to include the activity in your trip.
