Hok Tau Reservoir

Hok Tau Reservoir, reservoir in Pat Sin Leng Country Park, New Territories, Hong Kong

Hok Tau Reservoir is a small S-shaped reservoir in Pat Sin Leng Country Park, built in 1968 as part of the Plover Cove scheme. Its concrete main dam is 18 m high and 102.1 m long, holding about 180,000 m³. The Tan Shan River flows through it, and it also irrigates nearby farmland.

Hok Tau Reservoir was completed in 1968 as part of the Plover Cove Reservoir scheme, collecting water from the northwestern slopes of Pat Sin Leng and delivering it through a transfer tunnel to Plover Cove. It also served as an irrigation reservoir for nearby farmland. Its concrete main dam is 18 m high and 102.1 m long.

The reservoir takes its name from Hok Tau Wai, the village it sits beside. The Fung Ma Ancient Trail, a stone-paved path that once linked Tai Po Hoi with the northern New Territories, passes the reservoir on its way to Sha Lo Tung. Villagers' old fruit trees and fung shui woods survive near the banks.

The easy Hok Tau Family Walk circles the reservoir for about 2.5 kilometers taking roughly an hour, and hikers can also access it via Stage 9 of the Wilson Trail. Several barbecue and picnic sites line the routes, so wear comfortable shoes and check current transport options before heading out.
