Emmarentia Dam is a dam in Emmarentia, Johannesburg, South Africa. There are several dams that make up Emmarentia Dam, despite its allusion to the singular.
The Johannesburg Botanical Garden is on the western shore of the dam. [2]
The eastern shore consists of woodlands, natural grass areas used for picnics, braais (barbecues) and dog walking, a tea room and the Dabulamanzi canoe club.
