The Town of South Brook is centrally located within Green Bay. It provides a gateway to the Beothuk Trail, and is only a short drive to the area's main commercial centre of Springdale. This community is located on a beautiful salmon river which leaves South Pond and flows into Hall's Bay at the west end of town. This is the river from which the Town got its name. During the early years, the three local rivers: South Brook, West Brook, and Indian River, provided easy access to large stands of timber. Trees were cut and floated down the rivers to the sawmills at South Brook and Springdale. These rivers were also used as a source of income by salmon fishermen, who sold to buyers from Grand Falls. On the east side a large hill dominates the landscape. This 600 ft. incline is known as Rowsell's Hill, and was named after one of the early settlers.
