The City of Cape Town has announced that the Steenbras Nature Reserve and Gorge hike are closed to the public until further notice. The storm over the long weekend has resulted in severe flooding of the reserve located along Clarence Drive near Gordon’s Bay. The City regrets to inform the public that it will not take bookings for the popular Steenbras Gorge hike, and that the reserve will remain closed to the public until an assessment of the damage to the reserve and hiking trails is completed. “We normally open bookings for the Steenbras Gorge hike on 1 October. Unfortunately, we have to delay bookings this year due to flooding and damage to the hiking trail. Our reserve staff have not been able to access the gorge as yet to assess the extent of the damage and the time it will take to do repairs. Access to the start of the hiking trail is also impossible, given the closure of Clarence Drive due to storm damage and flooding. We will inform the public once we know more,” said the City’s Deputy Mayor and Mayoral Committee Member for Spatial Planning and the Environment, Alderman Eddie Andrews.
