Lower Peirce Reservoir Park

Delving further into Singapore National Parks' wealth of parks and trails, we hunted down the hard to find trail system near the Lower Peirce Reservoir and, we were glad that we did. It turns out that we found what is probably our favorite trail in Singapore yet! The boardwalk begins in one of the best preserved stands of rainforest on the island and ends up right on the waters' edge at the reservoir. For the entirety of it's journey through the forest, it follows a creek -- a rare kind of trail in Singapore. Even rarer, there was almost nobody on the trail with us. On a small island with 6 million residents, finding a place to be alone is not easy. Why this amazing trail had so few on it was a mystery to us. Also great is the fact that after finishing the boardwalk, we could continue on through the reservoir park and straight into Bishan Park. All in all, the entire length offered us a good 10 km walk with lots of places to stop along the way for the boys and finishing at Sixth Avenue for some good food was the perfect way to round out the day!
