Trem River (or Trem Trem River) is a river about 42 km long, originating from the Tan Bang - Can Gao canal junction and flowing to the Ong Doc river junction, passing through Thoi Binh commune. Trem River winds like a silk strip in the middle of U Minh forest. Trem River has an average depth of 3 - 4m, width from 80 to 10m, with water color changing according to the season. Especially in the rainy season, the river water is dark brown from the color of cajuput forest water flowing out from the canals.
In the Trem River basin, there is a typical eco- tourism area of U Minh Melaleuca forest. The forest here has over 300 species of plants and animals, very rich.
