It is surrounded by a national
lake area, which is administered
by the National Parks Board.This rare and sensitive eco-system is
home to a wealth of waterbirds,
as well as the elusive Knysna
Loerie that can be heard, and
sometimes seen, in the forest.
Recreation includes hiking,
mountain biking, bird watching,
dolphin and whale watching,
hang gliding and paragliding
and horse riding. Or visit the
Wilderness Lakes Art Route, go
on scenic drives, day tours or
ferry cruises.
And then, of course, there
are water sports galore, including angling and boating.

Excellent viewpoints are Map
of Africa - with breathtaking
scenery of forests, lakes,
mountains and coastline - and
Dolphin's Point, an excellent
vantage point from which to
study whales and dolphins.
Kaaimans River Bridge is a much
favoured spot for photography,
and particularly for taking snaps
of the Outeniqua Choo-Tjoe as it
travels along the coastline
between George and Knysna.
