If
your idea of a true nature adventure is to trek for hours on end,
always running the risk of getting lost, then Central Catchment
Nature Reserve would probably come closest to satisfying you.
This 2,000 hectare reserve is made up of the forests around the
Upper Peirce, Peirce, MacRitchie and Seletar
Reservoirs. You can enter the Upper Peirce forest via the
Old Upper Thomson Road.
There's no admission fee, which also means there's no visitor
centre and you are left to your own devices.
Unlike
the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, though, the forests of the Central
Catchment are secondary forests.
You can hike for quite a long distance here, as the park leads
right on to Bukit Timah Reserve and beyond. Bring a hat for protection
from the blazing equatorial sun and lots of water.
