Seongjusan Recreational Forest 성주산자연휴양림
Boryeong · Boryeong Downtown, Seongjusan & Gaehwa · Parks & nature
A state-run forest with a creekside trail, picnic areas and cabins on the slopes of Seongjusan Mountain. Day visitors come for the shade and clear water, which is especially welcome in the heat of summer. Trails range from easy riverside strolls to steeper paths, so you can choose your effort.
Camping and cabins are popular with Korean families, and booking is done through the official reservation system, which is generally in Korean. Entrance and parking fees may apply and can change. It is a quiet counterpoint to the beach resorts and is best with a car.
From Boryeong city take a taxi (about 30 minutes); public transport is limited, so driving is easier. (Show a driver: 성주산자연휴양림)
