Lubuk Timah Fall
These waterfalls have an interesting background. In the beginning of the 20th century, a dam was built in the Sg Anak Ayer Cina, near Simpang Pulai. The name Lubuk Timah suggest that the water was used for tin mining. The reservoir is completely silted now, and the water spills over the dam at the right section. In the past, there is both left and right water spill, creating two waterfalls. Nearby the entrance, there is also a river side hot spring popular with the locals.
Access to the falls is from the Simpang Pulai - Cameron Highlands road. Turn left where power lines cross the road. There is a clear but faded signboard at the road junction.(Image 1) After less than one km, you are near the river with a gated entrance. There is an entrance fee of RM5 per person. First you will pass a well maintained hot springs surprisingly close to the river with a host of amenities ranging from toilets, hall & rented gazebos.(Image 2) From there it is only a few hundred meters to the dam and the falls.
This is a popular weekend destination. You can climb up to the reservoir, which is completely silted.
