Soetdoring Dam Nature Reserve
Soetdoring Nature Reserve and the Krugersdrift Dam straddle the Modder river in the central Free State. It provides an interesting mix of wetland, grassland and thornveld habitats. Habitats include the Modder river with reedbeds and trees on the river banks, with more open water habitats and shorelines on the Krugersdrift Dam. During years when the dam’s water level is very low, large areas of muddy shore is exposed. Land habitats include grasslands with more open karoo-veld areas, wooded hillsides dominated by Olea species bush, thornveld along the shores of the dam, and riverine thicket along riverbanks.

Access to the reserve is from the Bloemfontein-Bultfontein road (R700) or from the Bloemfontein-Dealesville road (R64); the reserve is about 40 kilometers from Bloemfontein's city centre (about 20 minutes drive). Soetdoring Nature Reserve has two entrances. The eastern entrance is at the Modder River on the Bloemfontein / Bultfontein road (R700). Here visitors enjoy angling, picnicking and game viewing. Braai facilities are located along the river and the dam. The Modder River entrance is at the eastern boundary and runs through the 7 500 ha reserve before entering the Krugersdrift Dam which forms the western boundary.
