Franck Park Boat Ramp

Franck Park offers carry-down access to Black Hawk Creek in Hudson with a small triangular park layout located off Iowa Highway 58.

The access features limited parking (no defined spaces, with potential for vehicles to be boxed in) and can be difficult to locate for first-time visitors due to an obscured entrance.

Note that this is a carry-down only launch with no developed boat ramp, and the area is prone to flooding; the next downstream access is 7. 0 miles away.
