Bukit Merah Laketown Resort

Bukit Merah Laketown Resort is a large lakeside integrated resort on the shore of Bukit Merah Lake (Tasik Bukit Merah) in Kerian District, Perak, Malaysia. Built around Malaysia's oldest man-made reservoir, it combines accommodation, a waterpark, an ecopark and the Orang Utan Island conservation centre. The resort is notable for its lake setting, family-oriented water attractions and wildlife education facilities, serving as a major domestic tourism destination in northern Perak.

Visitors can expect a lakeside resort complex set on the 7,000-acre Bukit Merah Lake. The site includes a waterpark with slides and pools, an ecopark with nature trails, lakeside chalets and hotels, restaurants, and boat access to Orang Utan Island. The environment is open and family-oriented with landscaped grounds, lake views, and areas for swimming, boating and wildlife observation. Accommodation and day-visit facilities are spread across the resort grounds.

Bukit Merah Lake (Tasik Bukit Merah) is an artificial reservoir completed in 1906 during the British colonial period to provide irrigation for rice fields in Kerian District. It is regarded as the oldest man-made lake in Malaysia. The laketown resort was later developed on its shore as an integrated tourism project to promote domestic tourism in northern Perak.

The resort hosts Orang Utan Island, a conservation, research and education centre for the endangered orang utan, which serves as a wildlife education attraction for visitors. The lake and surrounding area remain important for local agriculture and recreation.
