The Klein River offers a cool dip when the summer is at its peak and a place where families get together to swim and enjoy the water. Kayaking has become a favourite amongst locals and tourists as it is one of the more exciting ways to venture down the water and explore its wonders.

It attracts so many different species of birds that Stanford has become renowned as a birdwatching hotspot.
