DAY-OF PLAN
Know the sequence before you go.
Times from the operator are kept separate from Korea Era planning guidance.
01
Check live national-park controls
The current tourism record lists entry from 04:00 April–October or 05:00 November–March, with mountain-entry cutoffs at 15:00 and 14:00. Weather, fire, restoration, crowd and route controls can override those times.
02
Choose a lower-gorge turnaround
The three-stage gorge lies on the main Juwangsan valley route. Decide whether the visit ends at the lower formations or continues farther, preserving enough time and energy for the same return.
03
Stay on the designed visitor route
Do not enter Seonnyeotang, Guryongso or other pools, climb the tuff walls or cross railings. Rain, ice, falling rock and wet surfaces make the most dramatic conditions less safe.
No general water entry is promised. Remain on the designed visitor path and obey all railings and closures.
Does arriving before the cutoff guarantee access?
No. Live weather, fire, restoration, crowd and route controls can close or shorten the visit.

The three-stage gorge lies on the main Juwangsan valley route. Decide whether the visit ends at the lower formations or continues farther, preserving enough time and energy for the same return.
03
At the plunge pools
Stay on the designed visitor route
Do not enter Seonnyeotang, Guryongso or other pools, climb the tuff walls or cross railings. Rain, ice, falling rock and wet surfaces make the most dramatic conditions less safe.
4. Traveler tips
Check the KNPS live trail status immediately before entering, not only when planning the trip.
Treat the entry cutoff as a control point rather than a promise that every onward route can be completed.
Keep outside every plunge pool and railing even when water is clear and shallow-looking.
Search “용추협곡 경상북도 청송군 주왕산면 상의리” 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 audited coordinate identifies the named destination, but the final gate, parking area and step-free entrance still need a live route check.
No general water entry is promised. Remain on the designed visitor path and obey all railings and closures.
Does arriving before the cutoff guarantee access?
No. Live weather, fire, restoration, crowd and route controls can close or shorten the visit.
