Emmarentia Dam is a dam located in the suburb Emmarentia in Johannesburg. There are several dams that make up Emmarentia Dam, despite its allusion to the singular.
The combined area of the dam and its gardens stretches over 100 hectares, which is fortunate as this glorious emerald of a park, with its contrasting areas of activity and serenity, draws an inordinate amount of visitors on a daily basis. The park is only six kilometres from the city centre.
Located at the northeast side of the park, the dam is a popular destination for energetic canoeists and small-boat enthusiasts. Sailing, canoeing and diving club facilities are housed on its eastern embankment.
The vast green surrounds are equally popular with dog walkers, cyclists and runners, while on weekends the sloped grass embankments are filled with picnickers.

Great fishing spot. I have been fishing there for 3 years now and I have found that it is full of surprises and is always stocked with large masses of bass. However the lake has been over taken by many carp fisherman. It is easy to fish however, ... but you just need the correct equipment.
