Hartbeespoort Dam Description
The Hartbeespoort Dam (area 1,883 ha/4,651ac), with the help of a 544km/338mi network of water channels, irrigates an extensive agricultural area in which tobacco, grain, fruit and flowers are grown.

This is now a popular recreation area with accommodation for visitors, camping sites and amusement parks. There are numerous hiking trails in the Hartbeespoort Nature Reserve (on the southeast side of the reservoir) on which visitors can observe the large numbers of birds and antelopes which live in the reserve.

There is also a small zoo with many mammals, reptiles and birds. A notable feature is a very large aquarium.

Cruises on the lake in small steamers are enjoyed.
