Vaal Dam
The Vaal Dam is an impressive body of water located close to Vereeniging. The Vaal Dam covers a mighty 300 square kilometers and has an impressive 800 kilometers of coastline. The Vaal Dam is a popular choice for holidaymakers looking to experience a vacation on and around the water.
The Vaal Dam is bigger than the country of Luxemburg, and its impressive sense of size is one of the most impressive and (noticeable) things about it. From every corner of this picturesque dam, you feel the effects of being close to such a large body of water. The Vaal Dam is unique in that three provinces make up the coastline, namely Mpumalanga, the Free State and Gauteng. On the expansive coastline, the Vaal Dam is surrounded by all kinds of little resorts and entertainment options. The water is clean and fed directly from the Highlands Water Project, which means not only is it clean enough to swim in, but drink as well.
A holiday at the dam is never dull! Visitors engage in a wide variety of water sports, including boating, water skiing, swimming and even wakeboarding. If you are looking for a quiet holiday, with some fun activities to try out, the Vaal Dam is unbeatable.
The Vaal Dam is in the Guinness Book of Records as host of the “Largest Inland Yacht Race in the World”. And there is plenty of activity around the dam during the many boat and yacht races that take place here. The dam is known as the best inland yachting dam in the country!
