Kempton Park Quarry - Marwan Fishing Dam
The Marwan Fishing Dam is in Kempton Park, on a
private piece of land that holds and deals with scrap metal. The dam is
very clear and pristine, considering it is surrounded by factories and
housing complexes. There are some big fish here, but fishing can be
tricky. The dam is very deep, as it was once a quarry. At the time of
writing this article entrance to the dam was R15 per person, which is
collected by one of the workers. When you arrive there will be 2 gates
you will drive through, please open both and close them behind you as
there are horses, sheep, pigs, chickens and dogs on the property.
