Took the dogs for a 6.9km hike today.
The hike was relatively easy with a manageable incline that lasts about 3kms. The majority of this trail is in the sun, we arrived abit later than planned and needed to to stop regularly to keep the boys hydrated. If you do decide to give Hobby a try please start early and bring plenty of water, the heat gets extreme. Besides the fishing spot early on there is no water or shade on route until the trail loops back to the dam.
The hike does not have a large diversity in scenery and terrain but is a very safe venue to explore if safety is a concern. The location is also ideal if you are looking for a hike close to Fourways.
Entrance is R50 per person, no booking required and is payable via card or cash.
Other activities include mountain biking, 4x4 trails, fishing, paintball and a restaurant on site.
