Entrance t-junction R512 & R104, Paddle Power Rd, Broederstroom Hartbeespoort.
Our entrance is off the t-junction of the R512 & R104, diagonally opposite the Sasol garage. Look for the signage for Harties River Hiking Trail/The Rusty Feather/Paddle Power.
With all the road works, it can be hard to spot – if lost, stop at the farmstall building and ask for Paddle Power – our road entrance is just to the right of the farmstall on the top of the T-junction.
