The Skoonspruit (also written as Schoonspruit, meaning "clean stream" in Afrikaans) is a river located in the Free State and North West provinces of South Africa. It is a tributary of the Vaal River system, flowing through the agricultural heartland of the interior plateau. The stream winds through open grassland and bushveld terrain typical of the South African highveld, offering a distinctly different fishing experience from the country's mountain streams and coastal estuaries.
