Nagle Dam which opened in 1950 to supply Durban is well worth a visit or stay in the Umsinsi run resort. Aside from the interesting scenic drive in the Valley of a Thousand Hills, the dam has some interesting features like the diversionary spillway, which is designed to divert silt laden flood waters. The dam with a wall height of 44.3 m and length of 393m provides some interesting photographic opportunities, in addition to the surrounds and bird life.
