Lower Peirce Trail

The Lower Peirce trail is a short boardwalk inside Lower Peirce Reservoir Park over wetland. It is connected to Oncopersermum trail, which eventually leads to the Dam which forms the Kallang River source. The total round trip distance from trail head to the Dam is ~ 3 km.

What attract us to the trail is exactly its short length, and also the chance to see some wildlife we had not seen before at Singapore. 

The boardwalk extended from inside the forest to the lake shore

It did not disappoint - the trails are shaded in the woods, the forest is mythic, there are a few fauna we did not see before, colorful dragon flies, white throat kingfisher, wild boars, common sun skink. We also observed different behavior in the monkeys.
