    The Kallang River (Chinese: 加冷河, Malay: Sungei Kallang) is the longest river in Singapore, flowing for 10 kilometres from the Lower Peirce Reservoir (originally named "Kallang River Reservoir") to the Kallang Basin. It originates in the planning area of Central Water Catchment, flows in a southeast direction through Bishan and Toa Payoh, before finally arriving in Kallang. Prior to extensive land reclamation along Singapore's southeastern coast, the Kallang River used to empty into the Singapore Straits at the Kallang Basin, near where Merdeka Bridge is standing. Today, the Kallang River flows into the open sea via the Marina Channel. Tributaries of the Kallang River include Sungei Whampoa, the Pelton Canal, and the Bukit Timah Second Diversion Canal. Other rivers that empty into the Kallang Basin, other than the Kallang River, include the Geylang River and Rochor River. All these aforementioned waterways form part of the Marina Reservoir, as a result of the Marina Barrage. The Kallang Park Connector of the Park Connector Network (PCN) runs almost parallel to the Kallang River, providing a stretch of recreational space along the river. The Kallang Riverside Park straddles both sides of the Kallang River near the river mouth.

    The Kallang River stretch over a long distance and it is lovely just to follow it from Bishan Park and just keep walking until i reach the Kallang River Park. One park connector connects the whole route. Here I can see fishes, birds, four legged animals and the trees. Great landscape and they are well maintained. Nparks does a good join for keep this country green and clean. Kudos to them!!!

    The Kallang River and its Park Connector concept in Singapore revitalizes the river into a vibrant waterfront promenade, integrating pedestrian and cycling paths, green spaces, and mixed-use facilities. It improves water quality and aligns with Singapore's vision of a City in a Garden, promoting outdoor activities and environmental sustainability. This redevelopment showcases progress, but some worry about the loss of original heritage. 🏞️ #KallangRiver #SingaporeParks #CityinaGarden #SustainableDevelopment

    It is a lovely scenic stroll from the Geylang River to the Kallang River. Take a walk past Kallang, Tanjong Rhu, and the Sports Hub area.

    Generally accessible from parks and able to connect to Marina Bay. Wear comfortable footwear and bring enough water.

    Very nice canal. If you're taking a motor boat through the canal, you can enjoy views of the south. However you can enhance this experience by kayaking. You will get wet and messy, but when you eventually get the hang of it, it will be very fun. There are little to no waves there, so you can enjoy a relaxing and non-dangerous boat ride there. The waters are relatively clean and there are no fishes. However try not to go too far because as you go further, you head towards the south sea. Also try not to drop anything in the canal because if so you can kiss that item goodbye.

    Beautiful Riverside

    This is the longest river in Singapore from lower Pierce reservoir to the marina reservoir. The river side has improved in appearance compared to 20 years ago. The river is also being cleaned and maintained. It used to be quite smelly and I always thought the stretch of river in front of my house is a drain. Thankfully the river is healthy again.

The views of the skyline, modern and colonial architecture, myriad of bridges, nature, relaxing riverside dining, and energetic club scene line this route, making it an experience just by encountering such a va...
