Our Morning Walk Venue


Perlis River Jogging Track is a track along side a river. It is maintained by the Department of Irrigation & Drainage, Perlis Branch. The track's surface is tarmac with concrete kerbs. Throughout the track, the department has planted shady trees. If you happen to be there early in the morning, you might encounter a few wild life such as monkeys, king fisher birds, white sea gulls, monitor lizards (swimming in the river), etc. There are 2 river crossings, one hanging cable bridge and the other is steel framed bridge (resembling the Penang Bridge). The distance between the two crossings is approximately 1.5km. No vehicles (not even bicycles) are allowed to enter the track areas, therefore, there is no interruption for the joggers. For the young ones, there are a few playground spots along the track. Those who love reflexology can even try the reflexology track on both sides of the river. There are amenities such as toilets, surau and homestay.
