Franklin rewards residents with Idaho’s oldest-town pedigree and a laid-back pace, plus fast access to regional amenities. Minutes from Logan to the south and Preston to the north in Franklin County, it blends pioneer-era character with the everyday convenience of Cache Valley living.

Weekend plans often point outdoors. Families head for Oneida Narrows on the Bear River for paddling and shoreline picnics, with current conditions and access updates available through Idaho Power’s recreation information.

Schools in the area are served by Preston School District 201, known for strong extracurriculars and career-technical pathways. The Larsen-Sant Public Library in Preston adds year-round story times, makerspace tools, and community classes.
