This river served as a bathing and wallowing place for the elephants belonging to Raja Reman, whose number reached hundreds.

To facilitate the bathing of these elephants, Raja Reman ordered the construction of a dam to impound water.

Nowadays, the remnants of the small lake have been developed by the district administration into a recreational park called Taman Tasek Takong.

The connection between elephants and the name Kroh has also been immortalized through the logo of the Pengkalan Hulu District Council, Perak Darul Ridzuan.
