Free State Reserves
The Free State's reserves are dominated by its eastern Highland landscape. Golden Gate Highlands National Park is the best-known, protecting the Rooiberge sandstone formations and surrounding grassland. Provincial reserves and private conservancies extend this coverage into the Maluti foothills and along the Gariep Dam shoreline. SA Hikes lists 20 Free State reserves with access, landscape and hiking information for each.
For the hiking trails themselves, see Free State Hikes. For a regional overview, see Discover Free State.
