Course Overview
Hapcheonho is an artificial lake created by Hapcheon Dam (96 m high), with scenic lakeside driving roads. The harmony of lake and mountains viewed from atop the dam, with seasonally changing lake colors, makes this an attractive drive.
Auto-camping sites and pensions around the lake make it good for overnight trips. Combine with Hapcheon Film Theme Park for more attractions.
