Located where the old town of Petersburg once
thrived during the 1790s, this park is named in memory of Lt. Robert T. Brown,
U.S. Navy, who gave his life in World War II. Petersburg was situated where the
Broad and Savannah rivers flow into the Clarks Hill Reservoir, now an
outstanding state recreational area. When water levels are low, visitors can
see some foundations of the old town and imagine large plantations once
flourishing. The park's strategic location on the largest man-made lake east of
the Mississippi provides excellent fishing and water recreation.
