When water levels are low, visitors can see some foundations of the old town and imagine large plantations once flourishing. The park's location on the largest man-made lade east of the Mississippi River provides excellent boating, skiing and fishing. The park's self-guided Land Navigation Courses teach beginners how to use a compass.

Our New 3D Archery Range
|
We are proud to announce the opening of the NEW 3-D Archery Range here at Bobby Brown Park. The range was built with a matching grant from the Georgia DNR Wildlife Resources Division. The course has a practice range and there are 20 3-D targets on the range. The course was designed by Georgia DNR Wildlife Resources Division, park staff, local Archery enthusiast Randy Holland and a host of volunteers. We would really like to thank Mr. Holland for all of the hours he has spent working on the range.
The cost to shoot the range is free until September 1 due to the requirements of the grant. As of September 1, 2017, the cost to shoot the range will be $7.00 per person along with the $3.00 daily park pass. We hope that everyone will enjoy the range! |
