Why Live in Franklin Township Columbia

Franklin Township Columbia is a rural community south of the Susquehanna River, characterized by multi-generational family farms and a population of around 550 residents. The area is predominantly agricultural, with grain silos, barns, and hilly farmland. Homes in Franklin include Colonial Revivals, ranch-style houses, and New Traditionals, many of which are working farms with wheat crops, cattle, and hay pastures. The township is known for its longstanding Rohrbach's Farm Market, Bakery & Gift Shop, which sells locally made jams, barbecued meats, and wine, and offers seasonal pick-your-own produce, cooking classes, and summer camps. Other local attractions include Rolling Hill Red Deer Farm and Paw & Plate, a dog-friendly bar with live music. Knoebels Amusement Resort, located in the southern part of Franklin, features over 60 rides, including the Phoenix and Impulse roller coasters, and a large swimming pool. While the park attracts tourists, leading to traffic congestion on state Route 487, locals often use backroads to navigate the area. The Southern Columbia Area School District serves the township, with G.C. Hartman Elementary earning high ratings. Recreational activities include boating and fishing on the Susquehanna River, with nearby kayak launches and parks such as Bloomsburg Town Park and Milton State Park. Franklin is accessible via state Route 487 and Route 42, with Bloomsburg less than 9 miles north and Wilkes-Barre Scranton International Airport 60 miles east.
