The
Very popular Lata Bayu
This
is a very old recreation area and also a renowned spot in the
northernmost part of the country. The famous Baling area, a town
where meetings with the then Communist insurgents were held!
Some
3 kilometers out of town and a branch road to north Kedah, places
like Sik, Weng etc. On the way [15 kilometers later] in the
village of Assam Java, good and prominent signage directs you to
3 kilometers Park road!

finale to series of rapids ending up with a cascades.
Total height of the continuous slide is about 30 meters
high. A
beautiful pathway follows the left bank all the way until
a level plain on top of the rapids.
There is only one
small vertical fall of 2 meters at the end of this
stretch.

local authority had landscape the park in a very
impressive manner. This is one of the very well managed
Park of Kedah. Pool with fair depth and clear flowing
