freshwater swamp or ‘empran’. In drier months, the water level usually
recedes drastically, and the valley is covered by a field of sedges,
mainly Lepironia species. This occurrence is very rare in the country,
or for that matter, in the whole island of Borneo.
| This Luagan Lalak Forest Recreation Park has been built with amenities for the easy use of visitors. Shelters, footpaths and a wooden bridge of 200 meters spans across the lake can be seen. Further development and additional facilities are being proposed by the Forestry Department under the Ninth National Development Plan. | ||||
