The water body referred to as Brak in the Western Cape of South Africa encompasses the Great Brak River and the Little Brak River, both located near Mossel Bay. The Great Brak River offers a paddling route that begins at the river mouth and extends inland for approximately 4.6 kilometers. Access to this route is from the N2 highway heading west out of George towards Mossel Bay, with the launch site being a public facility for which there is no fee. The river is considered small boat country, well-suited to kayaks and canoes. The Little Brak River features a specific out-and-back trail near Mossel Bay that is 6.8 miles, or about 10.9 kilometers, in total length and is generally considered a moderately challenging route. Guided kayaking adventures are available on these rivers, providing exclusive access to some areas. The overall character of the paddling experience involves opportunities to explore the waters around locations such as The Island at Great Brak River.
