    DAY-OF PLAN

    Know the sequence before you go.

    Times from the operator are kept separate from Korea Era planning guidance.
    1. 01
      Check rainfall and signed water controls

      Continuous public access does not make a mountain stream safe. Heavy rain upstream, current, heat, ice or emergency restrictions can change the usable valley.

    2. 02
      Choose one bounded section

      Yongchu Valley extends roughly 24 kilometres through nine scenic bends and links to mountain trails. Do not treat the map pin as the centre of a compact attraction.

    3. 03
      Save parking and the return

      Parking is listed available, but lots and buses are spread through the valley. Mark the exact arrival and turnaround before following the stream.

    Answers worth checking before you leave.

    No. It is a long stream corridor; choose a named section and return plan.

    Does continuous access mean swimming is always allowed?

    No. Water entry and swimming depend on current restrictions and conditions.

      Before Gapyeong

    2. 02
      At the published valley anchor

      Choose one bounded section

      Yongchu Valley extends roughly 24 kilometres through nine scenic bends and links to mountain trails. Do not treat the map pin as the centre of a compact attraction.

      Before leaving the road corridor

      Save parking and the return

      Parking is listed available, but lots and buses are spread through the valley. Mark the exact arrival and turnaround before following the stream.

    4. Traveler tips

    • Avoid entering the stream after rain and check upstream weather as well as the sky at the arrival point.
    • Save a named section, legal parking area and turnaround before leaving mobile coverage or the main road.
    • Use shoes with wet-rock grip and keep children within reach beside any current.
    • Search “경기도 가평군 가평읍 승안리 용추계곡” 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.
