Sanjeong Lake산정호수

At a glance

Sanjeong means 'a well in the mountains', and the lake was made in 1925 as a reservoir for farm irrigation. Myeongseongsan and other peaks rise around it, with Jainsa Temple and the Deungnyong and Biseon waterfalls nearby. It was named a national tourist resort in March 1977; walking the lakeshore is the main draw, and the area also has boating, a sculpture park, an amusement park and a sledding slope.
