Paddling near Botshabelo, Free State
Botshabelo sits in the Free State's central highveld, a largely flat, semi-arid province better known for its plains than its waterways. Paddling in the area centres on the still waters of nearby dams such as Rustfontein Dam, with the Caledon River providing the closest river option for those willing to travel further afield.
