The Bobby Brown State Park Campground offers a boat ramp and water access point on Clarks Hill Lake, part of the Broad River. This is a popular destination for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorized boats. The boat ramp is open year-round, providing easy access to explore the scenic Broad River and Clarks Hill Lake.
Clarks Hill Lake, also known as J. Strom Thurmond Lake, is a vast reservoir created by the Army Corps of Engineers. It covers over 70,000 acres and is the largest man-made lake east of the Mississippi River. The Broad River flows into the lake, offering paddlers a chance to experience the river's slower, wider character as it meets the larger impoundment. The boat ramp at Bobby Brown State Park Campground provides a convenient launch point to access both the lake and river.
In addition to the boat ramp, the campground offers wooded trails, archery, disc golf, and other recreational amenities. Nearby accommodations include the Morrow Bridge and Midway Seasonal Camps. Whether you're planning a day trip or overnight adventure, the Bobby Brown State Park Campground is an excellent option for water-based recreation on the Broad River and Clarks Hill Lake.
