Lalak Lake ( Malay: Luagan Lalak) is a pond in Mukim Labi, Belait District, Brunei. [1] It is located within the Labi Hills Forest Reserve as part of the Luagan Lalak Recreation Park, [2] and 100 kilometres (62 mi) from Bandar Seri Begawan. [3] The Brunei Malay term "Luagan", refers to a natural pond or non-flowing body of water. [4] [3]
In 1993, the planning of the formerly named Luagan Lalak Forestry Recreation Park began, [5] and it only began renovation in commemoration of the 2012 World Forestry Day. [6] From 2001 until May 2022, the park has seen a total of 81,000 visitors. [3]
The entire 270 hectares (670 acres) recreation park sits in a freshwater swamp forest. [7] [8] A 200 metres (660 ft) wooden bridge stretching out to three different gazebos above the lake is commonly used by people. [9] Green hills can be seen surrounding the park. [10]
