WELCOME to Bobby Brown State Park

Bobby Brown State Park is a 665 acre Georgia state park located near Chennault and Middleton. The park's name is a memorial to Robert T. Brown, a lieutenant in the U.S. Navy who was killed during World War II. 

The park is located on a plot of land that was once Petersburg, a small town that thrived during the 1790s due to its location where the Broad River and Savannah River met. 

The park is now located next to both Lake Strom Thurmond and Russell Lake, two manmade reservoirs. When water levels are low, however, the old town of Petersburg can once again be glimpsed by visitors. 

The park's strategic location near so much water provides much fishing and water recreation.
