The Bo-Steenbras, located in the Western Cape near Gordon's Bay, is a water body primarily associated with the Steenbras River and its connection to the Steenbras Dam. The paddling experience here is defined by a specific and limited route. The main paddling trip is a 13-kilometer round-trip journey that involves paddling up the Steenbras River itself. The navigable section of the river is quite short, extending for only about 300 meters, indicating that the majority of the journey takes place on the adjacent dam or reservoir waters. Access points for paddlers exist, though specific details on their exact location are not provided. The area is managed, as a road leading to the water filtration treatment plant near Steenbras Dam has a boom gate, and access beyond it requires a permit. This suggests that paddlers should verify public access and any permit requirements before visiting. The surrounding landscape is notable, with the Crystal Pools Trail following the course of the Steenbras River Gorge over rocky and sometimes tricky terrain, offering dramatic views. The broader area includes clean rocky ridges and knife edges overlooking False Bay, contributing to a scenic backdrop for a paddle. The water body's character is shaped by its mountainous setting and its role as part of a municipal water supply system, which implies that regulations are in place to protect the resource.
