There are three small waterways in Franklin : Canary Creek and Hurricane Creek flow into Young 's Creek . These creeks flood frequently . Their small floodplain has been adapted as the basis of Franklin 's green walkways and parks , which extend the entire length of the town . Hurricane Creek empties into Young 's Creek in Province Park , downtown , which flows into the Big Blue River farther South . A buried stream , Roaring Run , flows beneath Franklin . In the June 2008 Midwest floods , all of these streams overflowed , damaging or destroying more than 100 houses throughout Franklin , including some entire neighborhoods . Since 2008 , The city of Franklin has bought many of the flood-damaged homes , and cleared them to make more green space , and expand the parks system . Province Park is home to a small family cemetery of the George King family , one of the original founding families of Franklin
