Fodor's Expert Review MacRitchie Reservoir

This 30-acre park is a lush green wilderness, crisscrossed by a 10-km (6.2-mile) walking trail that loops around the reservoir. The trail is mostly flat and shaded, with only the warbling of birds and chatter of the park's many monkeys to break the peaceful reverie. Pick up the trail from MacRitchie Reservoir Park in the south, near the trail's main car park, where you can grab a drink from the cafés and kiosks before heading off. From here, you can follow signs towards the TreeTop Walk, which lies at around midway mark in the north of the park. This 820-foot-long suspension bridge soars above the trees, with spectacular views across the wild rain forest to the city skyscrapers in the distance. After completing the TreeTop Walk, continue following the trail towards Jelutong Tower—another spot with scenic views that lies in the west of the park—before looping back to the MacRitchie Reservoir Park along the picturesque waterside boardwalk.
