The Nparks website lists several nature reserves in Sg, and each reserve has it's own hiking trails.

The HSBC treetop walk is one I wld recommend. There are also many interesting trails ard the Lim Chu Kang military training grounds, but that's not exactly public access and u run the risk of being run over by Armoured Personnel Carriers.

Pulau Ubin is another interesting place to visit.

Hi all,

Is there anyone interest to go hiking together here in weekend, I have found some hiking trail in MacRitchie Reservoir Park, but havent been there, would be great if someone interested and go together!

I am keen too, but usually can't get anyone to go with, or it's usually others prefer to go early in the morning or do a fast trek, which is not my cup of tea.

I suggest you can join the mailing list of SIngapore Adverturers Club, i am in their mailing list. SOmetimes they have free treks around SIngapore. Went once and is quite fun and you get to do it with many other like minded people as well
