Flooding, rescue controls, road work and local restrictions override normal access.
Do not block village roads or drive onto gravel and river habitat.
Clear-looking water can still be deep, cold and fast.
It does not show water depth, a legal campsite or today's road and bank condition.
Checked August 29, 2026. Recheck current hours, admission, closures and transport before travel.
Use a Korean map app for the exact entrance and final walking route.
DAY-OF PLAN
Use the county-listed address near 697 Jeokbyeokgang-ro and a legal public parking or village access point rather than an arbitrary riverbank pin.
The official page lists 24-hour access and no fee, but daylight, water level, rain and current determine whether the gravel bank is safe or useful.
A scenic open river is not permission to swim, wade, launch, fish, light a fire, camp or drive onto the bank. Follow seasonal safety staff and posted controls.
MAKE A HALF-DAY OF IT
An always-open Geumgang riverside park with walking paths and an approximately 80-metre artificial waterfall carved into natural rock, close to Wolyeongsan Suspension Bridge and local fish restaurants; confirm waterfall operation, heat, river conditions and parking before combining stops.
