Central Catchment Nature Reserve

Acting as a large green lung and situated right in the centre of Singapore is Central Catchment Nature Reserve. The largest of the nature reserves in Singapore, Central Catchment Nature Reserve occupies over 2,000 hectares of forest cover and is home to some of the richest forests in terms of biodiversity. The Central Catchment Nature Reserve and the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve once formed a contiguous forest. That all changed when the Bukit Timah Expressway (BKE) was constructed in 1986, separating the nature reserves into two fragments. To facilitate a linkage, the Eco-Link@BKE, completed in 2013, now connects the two reserves once again to allow animal movements and the dispersal of forest plant seeds. The MacRitchie Reservoir Park is located at the southern-eastern end of the Central Catchment Nature Reserve. It is a popular starting point for visitors who wish to hike the MacRitchie Trails and the TreeTop Walk.

Serene. Refreshing. Challenging. Good place for a short trail run - end to end route is a little over 10km. Consider wearing good trail shoes with cushioning as the route is slightly pebbly. You will run into monkeys, birds, skinks, monitor lizards and jungle fowls.

The oldest manmade reservoir in Singapore. During Covid-19 period, F&B that is situated near main carpark is closed. Vending machines and public toilets are available at central pavilion and the Singapore Canoe Federation (SCF) kiosk nearby. The time to complete one whole round of reservoir by walking is approximately 4-5 hours, shorter if you are running. Monkeys can be problematic, keep your loose items in the pocket. Refrain from feeding the wild animals.

Nice place for walking and jogging. The trails are well marked. Great nature!!!

This area consist of a network of jungle trails where you can trek. There many tracks that you can walk and the natural forest canopy provides a wonderful refreshing air with minimal pollution. Many kind of flora that you can enjoy along the way. You can track anyway between 45 mins to over 4 hours.

The place is serene! Most of the paths are manmade now so it's easier to hike up to tree top walk! There are A LOT of monkeys do keep your loose items safe at all times, also multiple signs are put up to not feed the monkeys.

Must visit in Singapore! You can spend the whole day there. Don't miss the treetop walk!
