What a beautiful setting for a walk. There is so much to see in the area around the dam. A few minutes walk past the dam and you are high enough to have a spectacular view of Clarens.

Great place to take a walk and have access to amazing natural scenery.

Beautiful dam. Came across on my walk of the surrounding trails. Loved seeing all the kids having so much fun swimming in the dam. Very clean area. Great place to take your dogs

Beautiful scenery, close to Clarens for short walk or at the end of a longer walk over the mountains

Always have to swim here when I visit clarens

Clean, lovely place to hike and swim. Great place to cool off in the summer sun.

Amazing hiking trail.

First off to get to this place is tricky because of the gravel road you will jave to take if you have a bakkie, suv or anything higher than a vw polo from the ground this might not be such a big issue, but the belly of my car got hit by a few rocks and everything on my car is standard if you wondered 😆😁, i drove at 10km/h and was all over the road to try and miss the big rocks, the walk nice and calm the scenery was beautifull and you dont need to be a expert to do this walk, we walked all the possible routes ( we could see) and we were on the trails for 3 and a half hours, overall real nice and safe, you have to park your car at a gate which looks a little abandoned but it all gets better from there as you move along on foot

Tranquil. Clean. Beautiful.

Nice place if you want some quite time.

Great trails around the dam, beautiful views of the mountains and a lekker swim in summer. Also a great picnic spot.

This reservation has nice hiking trails and a lovely dam that is situated in the reserve. I would recommend this reservation for nature lovers. However, access to the reserve is not monitored or controlled, as such anyone can enter. I suggest hiking in groups,if alone or in a pair you could literally be the only people in the reserve at a given time and i wouldnt wonder the hiking the trails without company as you would be isolated.

Beautiful dam and some great walks around it.Lovely waterfall if you can find it

Nice hiking trail to the dam and it is very pretty

Beautiful and quiet, short walk to the dam from town.

For our first visit we were very impressed with the range of walks. We would like to return with a nap and explore more! It is a good peaceful antidote when the town is busy!

A definite place to come and see when you are visiting Clarens. Follow the orange path past the dam into the valley, if the water is running you will find a hidden waterfall. You can also go on top of the mountain to have a breathtaking view of Clarens and Clarens dam.

Clean and safe

What a stunning slice of south Africa. There are some great hiking trails and the wonders of nature to keep you engaged

The dam needs a bit of cleaning as there is lot of waste floating... But the view around the dam is beautiful and it is a good spot for outdoors braais .

Easy to access, had a good swim.

Loved the surrounding of the mountains and sky while taking a cool swim relaxing with family over festive season

Loved the nature, went there early morning...walked for about 5km and enjoyed every piece of green

Good place for one time visit...you will find difficulties in finding the place...local people come over there for swimming..

We hiked here from Clarens town and highly recommend it! 30 minutes gets you there, and you can swim and relax in the reservoir.

Lovely place to visit or taking the dogs for a walk.

Awesome place to relax and swim. Next best thing to the beach.

Nice view... Good place

Pretty spot. Crystal-clear water which is perfect for swimming.

Really beautiful setting in between all the beautiful surrounding mountains. Very basic. No facilities, but it is a nature reserve hence mo facilities.

Good and tranquil, but the road is not well maintained

Absolutely a must see. Beautiful.

This beautiful town nestled 3 &1/2hours from Johannesburg and 3 Hours from Durban is a great place to escape to from the hustle and bustle of City life. Clarens is a quaint town. And very popular over weekends. For myself I prefer the quiet times to breathe in the world and fresh air and to exhale go for bike ride or walk and feel one with my peaceful surroundings

One of the most beautiful nature walk you can take in Clarens

Tranquil with pleasant hiking trails

Wonderful hiking trails
