The Hartbeespoort Dam
Surrounded by the Magaliesberg mountain range, Hartbeespoort
Dam is very popular for weekend getaways or day trips. Water sports can be enjoyed
including para-sailing, windsurfing, water and jet skiing. The more adventurous try
paragliding, hang-gliding or hot air ballooning. |

Visit the aquarium, private zoo, a snake park
and a cable way. The village of Hartbeespoort lies on the shores of the dam, among hills
and with panoramic views on the dam and the Magaliesberg Mountains. Enjoy the tranquility
of the hills and valleys, the scenic drives, challenging hikes and gentle rambles on
offer.
Of interest is the Crocodile Ramble, an arts and crafts route with day visitor and
overnight facilities. The Pecanwood Golf Estate hosts the annual Nelson Mandela invitation
golf tournament.
History:
The Dam was constructed in 1925. Its current capacity is 205 million cubic metres and its
shoreline, when full, is about 56km.
