Sekayu Waterfall & Nature Park

Sekayu Waterfall is located within the Sekayu Recreational Forest in Kuala Berang. It was established in 1974 and officially launched in 1985.

Seven cascades here with water-cut pools which become the natural swimming pools make it famous retreat for visitors. In wet season, you can hear the sound of rushing water falling from a high altitude from far away as you trek up the hill towards the pool. It is a pleasure experience. Not much trekking to be done for lowest level of the waterfall except you have to climb the concrete stairs.
Picnicking places and resting huts are along the way. Only when you are not satisfied with the lowest pool and intend to challenge the mountain, there the real trekking will take place. Even so, is not going to be a difficult one as the mountain is not steep. If you are an expert in trees perhaps you can name some of the names of the trees along your way up.

Because of the long established history, the recreational park is well facilitated with public facilities such a shelters, changing room, chalets and rest house, providing for visitor's convenience besides three units of fully finished chalets with the reasonable price. Sekayu Waterfall is said to be of the most comprehensive picnicking and trekking area in the state.

To offer more choices to the visitor's, there is a fruit orchard, a mini zoo, a bird park and a flower garden. Because of the ease in access to this waterfall, during the weekends or public holidays, people come here for picnic or camping. It is no doubt why this recreational park has become one of the promoted agro-tourism destinations for the state.
