Yongyeon Falls · Cheongsong

용연폭포

A two-stage waterfall and largest falls on Juwangsan's main valley route, with erosional caves recording its retreat; the current visitor baseline is 04:00–17:00 in summer and 04:00–16:00 in winter, but trail closure, flow, slick rock, rockfall, ice and daylight control the real visit.

    DAY-OF PLAN

    Know the sequence before you go.

    Times from the operator are kept separate from Korea Era planning guidance.
    1. 01
      Plan the full walk from the national-park entrance

      The waterfall coordinate is not roadside parking. Choose the main-valley route, total distance, turnaround, parking and final transport, then check live KNPS closures before entering.

    2. 02
      Use the seasonal span as orientation only

      The current tourism record lists 04:00–17:00 in summer and 04:00–16:00 in winter. Trail entry, fire, restoration, rain, ice and rockfall controls can end access earlier.

    3. 03
      View the two stages from signed surfaces

      Remain behind rails and outside the deep pool, wet rock, cliff base and erosional caves. Stronger post-rain flow also means greater slip, flood and rockfall risk.

    3. Visit flow

    1. 01
      Before travel

      Plan the full walk from the national-park entrance

      The waterfall coordinate is not roadside parking. Choose the main-valley route, total distance, turnaround, parking and final transport, then check live KNPS closures before entering.

    2. 02
      Before the visitor cutoff

      Use the seasonal span as orientation only

      The current tourism record lists 04:00–17:00 in summer and 04:00–16:00 in winter. Trail entry, fire, restoration, rain, ice and rockfall controls can end access earlier.

    3. 03
      At the falls

      View the two stages from signed surfaces

      Remain behind rails and outside the deep pool, wet rock, cliff base and erosional caves. Stronger post-rain flow also means greater slip, flood and rockfall risk.

    4. Traveler tips

    • Do not navigate directly to the waterfall coordinate as though it were a car park.
    • Treat rain-enhanced flow as a hazard signal and recheck closures before the walk.
    • Keep enough time to return through the main valley before the park and rural transport margins close.
    • Search “용연폭포 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.
