Nature
Franklin Creek State Natural Area is an 882-acre Illinois state park in Lee County that gained special standing in 1982, when it was dedicated as the state's twenty-fourth nature preserve. Its designation as a state natural area reflects its protected place within the Illinois park system. The site's importance centers on that dedication, which established Franklin Creek among Illinois's formally preserved natural landscapes.
