Kanching Recreational Forest is part of the 478ha of Kanching Forest Reserve. It offers a cool and relaxing environment besides being a sanctuary for birds and monkeys.
This tourist attraction is an excellent place for picnicking and camping especially near its cascading waterfalls.The more popular spots among picnickers are the second and third levels, where the waterfalls end in spacious pools and bouldered streams. At the lower level, the torrents slow down into a calmer river, providing a safer place for children to take a dip.
