And we found just the spot. Dubbed \u2018the forgotten reservoir\u2019, Keppel Hill Reservoir disappeared from modern maps (don\u2019t ask us why) until it was rediscovered a couple of years ago. This colonial-era reservoir was formerly a source of water for the Tanjong Pagar dockyard before being used as a swimming pool in 1938.<\/p>\n<p>Our adventurous souls craved an unconventional trekking experience. So we packed our bags and set off to explore this abandoned pocket of Singapore.<\/p>\n<h2>Our adventure at Keppel Hill Reservoir<\/h2>\n<h3>1. Getting to the fork in the road<\/h3>\n<p>Want in on this adventure? To get there, you\u2019ll have to head to Keppel Hill Road. You can get there by taking a bus from HarbourFront Bus Interchange and walking in (turn into the road from the church) or by driving (key Wishart Road into your GPS).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_187690\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-187690\" style=\"width: 930px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-187690 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/02\/201.png\" alt=\"Follow our hike to the abandoned Keppel Hill Reservoir\" width=\"930\" height=\"550\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/02\/201.png 930w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/02\/201.png 300w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/02\/201.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 930px) 100vw, 930px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 930px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 930\/550;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-187690\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Amelia Ang<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Keep a lookout for the Telok Ayer Chinese Methodist Church and you&#8217;ll know you&#8217;re at the right place.

After wondering if the house was still inhabited (probably not) and debating if we could jump the fence (we couldn&#8217;t), we took the other road to continue our mission to locate the \u2018missing\u2019 reservoir.<\/p>\n<h3>3.

(No, it doesn\u2019t smell, it\u2019s just filled with dead leaves.) Heads up: don\u2019t be misled by the dirt trail beside the dumpster snaking into the bushes; you\u2019re headed in the other direction. There\u2019s a less obvious, man-made trail leading into the tall grass and banana trees, which will take you to the highlight of this trip&#8230;<\/p>\n<h3>4.

Paranormal hunters have sought this place out, but we wouldn\u2019t say it\u2019s a particularly creepy location \u2013 not in the afternoon, at least. Still, you can attempt to give your friends a scare by reminding them of the drowning incidents that occurred in this body of water. (Two soldiers and a boy drowned in 1936 and 1948 respectively.)<\/p>\n<h3>5. The glimmering Keppel Hill Reservoir<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_187715\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-187715\" style=\"width: 930px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-187715 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/02\/117.png\" alt=\"diving board | Follow our hike to the abandoned Keppel Hill Reservoir\" width=\"930\" height=\"550\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/02\/117.png 930w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/02\/117.png 300w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/02\/117.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 930px) 100vw, 930px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 930px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 930\/550;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-187715\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Amelia Ang<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>To the right is where the diving board used to be. The remaining steps and the metal hinges that used to hold it make for a pretty poignant scene. Walk past the diving board (and a path of loosely placed concrete slabs \u2013 be careful out there!) and you\u2019ll come to a small flight of stairs. Climb a little way up and you\u2019ll find that fallen trees make the path un-walkable for most. There\u2019s a small opening that only a child could wiggle through. Not a good idea.<\/p>\n<p>On the opposite end of the bank, there\u2019s a forested area bordering the left of the reservoir. Look amongst the dead leaves and you might spot a rusty old sign. It reads \u2018danger\u2019 and advises against a swim in the water. (We figured that much.)<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re venturing past the faded Mount Faber sign (hanging from one of the trees) and into the undergrowth, watch your step! We wouldn\u2019t recommend it unless you\u2019re an experienced trekker and equipped with pretty good balancing skills \u2013 there\u2019s not much to hold onto. Most of the shoots there can&#8217;t hold a person\u2019s weight.<\/p>\n<p>To satisfy your curiosity, there\u2019s more greenery within, along with some rusty old cans. We reckon this was a chill-out place of sorts where former residents used to hang out.<\/p>\n<h3>6. Get your cameras out<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_187719\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-187719\" style=\"width: 930px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-187719 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/02\/174.png\" alt=\"diving board | Amelia Ang | Follow our hike to the abandoned Keppel Hill Reservoir\" width=\"930\" height=\"550\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/02\/174.png 930w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/02\/174.png 300w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/02\/174.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 930px) 100vw, 930px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 930px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 930\/550;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-187719\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Hylman Suwandi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Having explored (or at least attempted to) both banks, we went back down to the main bank area for some photo-taking action.

Photo op suggestions: pose on the steps leading to the missing diving board, or along the stairs leading to the water.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_187694\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-187694\" style=\"width: 930px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-187694 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/02\/143.png\" alt=\"grass | off the beaten path | Lord Acu\u00f1a | Follow our hike to the abandoned Keppel Hill Reservoir\" width=\"930\" height=\"550\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/02\/143.png 930w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/02\/143.png 300w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/02\/143.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 930px) 100vw, 930px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 930px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 930\/550;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-187694\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Amelia Ang<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>We found another photo-worthy location that might be unbeknownst to those who\u2019ve been here before: an open field of tall grass, located a little further in after walking past the reservoir (go straight into the bushes from the main bank).<\/p>\n<h3>7. Tips and things to take note of<\/h3>\n<p>Feeling the hunger pangs? There&#8217;s a small coffee shop nearby named Lakshmi Vilas for a quick bite. Or grab something from Cheers at the Esso station right by the main road (you\u2019ll see it before you turn into Wishart Road). As for the nearest public toilets, there\u2019s one at the aforementioned petrol station, and we recommend dropping by before your hike. Don&#8217;t forget your trusty insect repellent, too!<\/p>\n<h3>Would you go trekking at Keppel Hill Reservoir?<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_187722\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-187722\" style=\"width: 930px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-187722 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/02\/930-x-550-256.png\" alt=\"Joaqium toilet | Follow our hike to the abandoned Keppel Hill Reservoir\" width=\"930\" height=\"550\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/02\/930-x-550-256.png 930w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/02\/930-x-550-256.png 300w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/02\/930-x-550-256.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 930px) 100vw, 930px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 930px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 930\/550;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-187722\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Amelia Ang<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Despite being an abandoned reservoir, locating it isn&#8217;t an impossible task, especially with directions.
