Adventure and sport...
Bloemfontein has active flying and gliding clubs stationed at Tempe Airport. Angling and watersport: Anglers have no less than four dams to choose from when planning an angling trip. These include Tierpoort Dam, south of the city on National Road N1, Rustfontein Dam, east of the city on the Thaba 'Nchu Road, Krugersdrift and Mockes Dams at the Philip Saunders Resort. Krugersdrift Dam is situated in the Soetdoring Nature Reserve and holds fish such as yellowfish, Orange River mudfish, barbell and carp. Rustfontein Dam, in the Rustfontein Nature Reserve is an angler's paradise where carp, brabel, mudfish and yellowfish can be caught. Visitors also enjoy water sport such as water skiing, windsurfing and paragliding. Bungee jumping: Adrenaline junkies can engage in some "high falling" antics at Loch Logan Waterfront. Canoeing and windsurfing: Contact the Loch Logan Canoe Club at the popular Loch Logan Waterfront for "paddle" information. A two-day canoe route can be followed in the Soetdoring Nature Reserve. Krugersdrift Dam, in the reserve, is ideal for windsurfing and canoeing, as is Rustfontein Dam in the Rustfontein Nature Reserve.
