Mengkuang
Dam is the only dam in Province Wellesley. Located 28km northeast of

landscape with jogging trails (the best is the 10km trail that goes past
orchards and rubber plantations), it has at least 300 visitors a day.
It
contains up to 23.6 billion litres of water making it the largest dam in
Penang. Officially opened in 1985, it is also called Empangan Mengkuang and the
81ft dam has a water-cache area of 3.9sqkm. It was officially opened by the
former Governor, Dr. Tun Awang bin Hassan.
