Hartbeespoort Dam Lies in the Crocodile River about 30km west of Pretoria and 12 km south-east of Brits in the Northwest Province of South Africa. The dam, completed in 1923, has a capacity of 186 million cubic metres and is the second biggest in the province. It was built in a narrow gorge between Silkaatsnek and Kommandonek in the Magaliesberg range and provides water to Pretoria and Johannesburg. The road between Pretoria and Rustenburg, crosses the dam wall. Hartbeespoort Dam is a popular week-end destination for campers from Pretoria and Johannesburg.
