The MTB trails are poorly market if not market at all!! It is really surprising to pay a fee for a place with so many trails but really poor maintenance Along the dam, the trail is collapsing and nothing is done to repair it or even to close it / mark the danger (and it is unsafe ) So nice area but really poor management ...: not sure why people should pay for that? Accessing the mountain only? There. Is definitely no services offered - Alexandre Vouillot
Purchasing the permits was efficient online and hiking at the Berg river dam was very enjoyable. There are many routes to choose from, from easy to long and difficult. Many options for a swim as well if you so wish. - Werner Dalziel
Perfect! Great hike! - Moira Bassingthwaigthe
Absolutely LOVED the beautiful hike and so want to spend a few days in amazing Franschoek! - Helen Millson
We didn't know where it was OK to park our car, and so probably walked much further to get to the dam than we needed to. A few signs would have been helpful. But it is a splendid walking area, and we wished we had a better map to show the paths, because the map which we were sold showed cycling and walking routes all jumbled together. And it wasn't clear where all the routes actually started from in relation to where the parking might have been. - Frank and Pauline Everest
