Luagan Lalak, Labi, Belait


Some 25 kilometers beyond Sungai Liang Forest Recreation Park on the road to Labi, the Luagan Lalak Recreation Park covers some 270 hectares within the Labi Hills Forest Reserve.


Luagan Lalak Recreation Park is important as the location of a rare alluvial freshwater swamp, or empran. During rainy periods, the entrapped water level rises rapidly, filling the area like a lake. In drier spells, the water recede quickly, and the valley flourishes with sledge which are predominantly the Lepironia species. Apart from shelters and footpaths for exploration, a 200 meters wooden walkway meanders along the lake area.
