About Loagan Bunut National ParkLoagan Bunut National Park is a national park in the Miri Division of Sarawak. It is named after Loagan Bunut, the largest freshwater lake in Sarawak. The lake covers an area of 650 hectares, but dries up entirely once or twice every year.Loagan Bunut lake is fed by three rivers namely Sungai Bunut, Sungai Tinjar and Sungai Baram. The water level in the lake is dependent on the amount of water flowing in from the three rivers. In around February, and again May or June, there may be totally no water in the lake. The tribe living around Loagan Bunut are the Berawan people. They practise a unique-form of shift fishing called selambau, which moves to a different site before the stock is depleted. This allows the lake to be stocked with fish even during the annual droughts. The Loagan Bunut National Park covers an area of 10.7 sq km in the upper reaches of Sungai Bunut where the lake is located. It was gazetted on 1 January 1990, and announced to the public as a national park on 29 August 1991.
