Boksburg Property | Johannesburg

The mining commissioner built an enormous dam in the area, which stayed empty for a number of years, leading to its nickname ‘White’s Folly’.  However, a flash flood in 1889 silenced all his critics and the Boksburg Lake is still a spectacular site today, over 150000 square metres and surrounded by lawns, trees and terraces.  The lake is popular with watersport enthusiasts, who take advantage of the excellent boating, fishing and other activities on offer.
