    DAY-OF PLAN

    Know the sequence before you go.

    Times from the operator are kept separate from Korea Era planning guidance.
    1. 01
      Choose a legal valley access point

      Jicheon Gugok is a long stream landscape, not one gated attraction. Select a signed recreation area, bridge or trailhead and confirm parking without blocking a rural road or farm entrance.

    2. 02
      Check rain upstream and current depth

      The county highlights shallow summer recreation around Kkachinae, but depth, current and contamination can change quickly. Never infer safe swimming from a scenic photograph.

    3. 03
      Leave the low stream edge

      Rock, mud and unlit rural roads become harder to read after rain or sunset. Return to the signed road before visibility or weather worsens.

      Choose a legal valley access point

      Jicheon Gugok is a long stream landscape, not one gated attraction. Select a signed recreation area, bridge or trailhead and confirm parking without blocking a rural road or farm entrance.

    2. 02
      Before approaching the water

      Check rain upstream and current depth

      The county highlights shallow summer recreation around Kkachinae, but depth, current and contamination can change quickly. Never infer safe swimming from a scenic photograph.

    3. 03
      Before dusk

      Leave the low stream edge

      Rock, mud and unlit rural roads become harder to read after rain or sunset. Return to the signed road before visibility or weather worsens.

    4. Traveler tips

    • Treat the valley as one selected short segment rather than trying to follow every bend by car or on foot.
    • Check upstream rain even when the immediate sky is clear and leave the channel immediately if water clouds or rises.
    • Pack out all food and rubbish; do not enter crops or private riverside plots to reach a photo angle.
    • Search “청양 지천구곡” in Naver Map or Kakao Map and confirm the exact entrance and return route.
    • Recheck weather, trail or garden closures, last entry and seasonal conditions before departure.
    • The catalogue coordinate is an approximate centre pin, not turn-by-turn entrance guidance.
