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. Peterburg 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.
