The S. von Bach Recreation Resort is situated a few kilometres south of Okahandja and is accessed from the main B1 road. Direction signs are good. The dam was commissioned in 1970, lays across the Swakop River and serves as Windhoek's main water supply dam, having a capacity of some 50 million cubic meters.

 

The Recreation Park is a popular 'get away' weekend venue for Windhoekers. The surrounding game reserve cover an area of 4,300 hectares and is populated by Kudu, Gemsbok

 

The dam is popular with the water ski crowd and two local clubs have their own established facilities at the dam. The dam is stocked with Blue Carper, Small-Mouth-Yellowfish, Carp, Large Mouth Bass and  Barbel. Angling permits can be purchased at the NWR on site office.

 

The facility at the Von Bach Dam is managed by Namibia Wildlife Resorts
