Jericho Dam is a combined concrete gravity and earth-fill dam located on the Mpama River near Amsterdam in Mpumalanga, South Africa. The dam is recognized as a destination for kayaking and paddle boarding, with resources available to help paddlers uncover access points, boat ramps, and necessary facilities for a day on the water. The surrounding area offers fishing opportunities, with species including Largemouth bass, Common carp, and North African catfish present in the water, indicating a healthy aquatic ecosystem. The dam's construction and function as a water impoundment on a river suggest a body of water with defined shorelines and likely variable topography influenced by the local landscape. As a dam, its water levels and flow characteristics are managed, which can affect paddling conditions. Paddlers should consult local resources for current access information and any regulations specific to watercraft use on this impoundment.
