Franklin Township

Shaped by farmsteads and country roads, Franklin Township has developed into a largely rural community in Pennsylvania’s Carbon County. It occupies Appalachian terrain near Beltzville Lake, a reservoir on Pohopoco Creek created by Beltzville Dam. Wooded shorelines and the lands of Beltzville State Park give the area a strong connection to outdoor recreation, while nearby Lehighton lies along the Lehigh River. Built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for flood-risk management, the dam remains a defining piece of regional infrastructure.
