Due to it relatively small size, it is one of the least-known parks in North West. The reserve offers great birding opportunities and visitors can angle in the rapids of the Vaal River surrounded by unmatched natural scenery. This park is also a favourite among mountain bikers, offering spectacular trails. There are designated braai areas in the reserve and free-roaming antelope, black wildebeest, kudu and zebra are often seen in these parts.
