Komsepad trail at Gouna forest

A wonderful, challenging ride through the indigenous Gouna forest. Lots of climbing, regardless of which way round you go.

Farleigh routes

In the forest at the foot of the Outenqiua mountains is where you’ll find the Farleigh Mountain Bike trails. There are three circular route options

Jubilee Creek Nature Reserve walk

Probably the most beautiful picnic spot in the Knysna indigenous forests. Located in two forest clearings, alongside a stream, this site is very popular with young families – the stream is the perfect place for water-play.

Homtini route

Most of the trail follows fairly easy contours in the indigenous forest and plantation. It is enhanced by winding single-track slip-paths, shady plantation and indigenous forest roads offering a regular bird’s eye view of the surrounding area. It is a moderate ride with the exception of a steep 4km climb.

Sedge Links Mashie

The Sedgefield golf club is a 3 year old short course, and offers a good challenge to both lower and higher level handicap golfers.

Garden Route Trail Park

The Garden Route Trail Park is nestled at the very foot of the Outeniqua Mountains and the Karatara River Gorge, midway between George and Knysna.

Circles in the forest hiking trail

Following an old mining path along the Forest Creek, the Circles in a Forest Hiking Trail beckons hikers to explore the loveliness of the Goudveld Forest.

The Water Club

The Turbine Water Club based at Thesen Island in Knysna offers a wide variety of activities on both land and the Knysna lagoon
