At Franklin Furnace/ Ohio River KOA Journey we are proud to participate in KampGreen Program, where we are committed to support a healthy outdoor environment for our campground and all our campers. We had planted more than 250 trees in the campground and keep going. Happy to conserve the water, our fishing lake and swimming lake water resources are from a natural spring and natural growing. Waste/Recycling stations all throughout the campground. Thank you for taking the initiative and helping us to build a better future for the world.
