Created on the farm of a Boer War peace campaigner; Hartbeespoort Dam offers sight-seeing, shopping and water sports. Day trippers may find it hard to get to the waterfront, but ther are plenty else to see and do.
The Hartbeespoort Dam, surrounded by the majesty of the Magaliesbergmountain range, is a popular destination for weekend getaways or day trips. Harties, as it is affectionately known, boasts all manner of activities including water sports of all kinds - para-sailing, watersurfing, water and jet-skiing.Of course for the more adventure-mad visitor, Hartbeespoort Dam is ideally situated for paragliding, hand-gliding or hot air ballooning. Meet the sun halfway up the morning sky with an early morning flight in a hot-air balloon and watch as the countryside awakens to a new day.
Hartbeespoort Dam is also the beginning of the Heritage Route and is a great point of departure to discovering the rest of the Province.
