LOCATION: ROUXVILLE

DESCRIPTION:

This reserve in the south-western part of the Free State, lies 35 km to the north of Fauresmith on the Petrusburg / Fauresmith road (S136).

 

Yellowfish, both the small and largemouth varieties, attract many anglers to this reserve, which is attractively situated between small koppies and ridges. Spectacular sunset colours transform the landscape with their blazing browns, reds and oranges most evenings. The dam of approximately 4 500 ha is an angler's paradise and special provision has been made to accommodate these sportsmen.

 

Barbecues, slipways and toilets are there for the convenience of the angler. Camping and angling are the main activities. There are no shops and visitors must bring their own provisions and equipment.
