Blyde River Canyon - Mpumalanga, South Africa - Drawing Waymarks on Waymarking.com

Blyde River has a northwards course in steep-sided valleys and ravines of the Mpumalanga Drakensberg, before it enters the lowveld region of the Limpopo province. It has its ultimate origins at around 2,000 m altitude in the Hartebeesvlakte conservation area, to the north of Long Tom Pass. It is approximately 90 km (53 miles) in lenght.

One of the most-visited attractions in South Africa, the Blyde River Canyon is 26 kilometers (16 miles) in length and is, on average, around 800m deep. The Dam itself, when full, is at an altitude of 665m (2182 feet).

At the meeting point of the Blyde River and the Treur River, water erosion has created one of the most phenomenal geological phenomenon in South Africa - the ‘Bourke’s Luck Potholes’.
