How it's used
Locals often refer to this area simply as the reservoir when the context of hiking is clear. It is famous for the large population of wild macaques that gather near the entrance, so visitors are frequently warned not to carry plastic bags or food openly. The area is a major hub for the MacLehose Trail, making it a primary destination for weekend outdoor activities.
