The Krom River, also known as the Kromme River, is a 109-kilometer-long river in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa, with a catchment area of 1,085 square kilometers. It winds its way through the coastal area of St. Francis Bay, providing a paddling environment that includes river channels, a lagoon, and access to canals. A specific, mapped paddle route is a 2.7-mile out-and-back trail near Kouga NU, generally considered of moderate difficulty, which involves paddling up and down the river. A primary access point for launching is underneath the bridge leading to St. Francis. An alternative and reportedly easier launch site is within the Krom River channels themselves, at the channels area. The river is an ideal playground for boating and watersports, with its waters leading to the beach, canals, and lagoon. The area is near the well-known towns of Jeffrey's Bay and Cape St. Francis. The river's aesthetic is beautiful, and it is suitable for activities like fishing. The overall character of the paddling experience is suited for recreational boating and watersports in a coastal river and lagoon system.
