North Eastern Riverine LoopNParks describes a 26 km park-connector loop linking four parks through Punggol, Sengkang and Buangkok.The full distance is descriptive, not a recommended dog-walk length. Check current paths, exclusions and signs; no blanket permission to enter every adjoining wetland, reserve or beach is inferred.
Northern Explorer LoopNParks describes a 25 km loop connecting 11 parks/nature areas across Sembawang, Woodlands and Yishun.Check the actual section and current notices. A loop containing nature areas does not override any pet prohibition; avoid excluded detours and confirm leash rules. No full-loop suitability or access guarantee.

Choose by what you need

Use a park-connector map to plan a permitted section with your dog, rather than treating every hiking trail as dog-friendly. NParks describes the North Eastern Riverine Loop around Punggol, Sengkang and Buangkok, and Northern Explorer around Sembawang, Woodlands and Yishun. Its pet directory features both loops. General dog access has specific reserve and nature-park exclusions: check your chosen section and current diversions, and do not detour into excluded areas.
