Choose the view before you start

In Jangseong, Jeollanam-do, Jangseong Lake offers two distinct waterside walks. The county's official guide calls the left-hand route from the dam the 8.4 km *Chulleong-gil* (출렁길), and the right-hand route the 4 km *Supsok-gil* (숲속길, forest trail). They should not be mistaken for one short circular walk.

For the suspension bridges: Chulleong-gil

The left trail passes the Yellow Suspension Bridge and Golden Suspension Bridge. It is the choice for people who want to see the lake from the bridge paths. The county also lists small visitor facilities near the Yellow bridge, including Chulleongjeong and Neomsiljeong. Pets are not allowed on Chulleong-gil, according to the official guide.

For woodland views: Supsok-gil

The 4 km forest trail follows the other side of the lake, offering wooded scenery and a view of the two bridges from across the water. The county says pets are permitted on this trail and admission is free. Check actual access conditions before bringing a pet.

How the 3,000-won system works

The official guide says a voucher exchange booth operates on weekends and public holidays for the bridge trail. General visitors whose registered residence is outside Jangseong County pay KRW 3,000 and receive a Jangseong local voucher of the same face value. Listed exemptions, subject to identification, include county residents, eligible veterans and families, visitors aged 65 or over or 18 or under, registered people with disabilities and conscripted military personnel. Do not apply this rule indiscriminately to weekdays or the free forest trail.
