Gisan Reservoir, boasting beautiful natural scenery, has quietly flowed for many years, offering rest and relaxation to many people.

Accordingly, in 2019, the city signed a consignment agreement with the Korea Rural Community Corporation to begin the journey of cultivating this place into a more prestigious tourist destination.

In 2021, as the first phase of the project, a waterside walking trail was created to provide a space in harmony with nature, and through this second phase, the charm of Gisan Reservoir has been further enhanced.

At the center of this is the ‘Skywalk.’ Walking along the open glass deck overlooking the reservoir, visitors can enjoy a fantastic view where the sky and the lake seem to meet.

The gentle breeze flowing softly over the tranquil waves and the beautiful mountain ranges surrounding the area are expected to provide visitors with an unparalleled emotional experience.

A public parking lot was also created considering the convenience of those visiting Gisan Reservoir.

Divided into the first and second public parking lots towards the Paju and Yangju directions, respectively, they can accommodate 44 and 72 vehicles, allowing visitors to use the parking space comfortably.

Currently, the parking lots are open free of charge, but after a guidance period, they will become paid starting mid-April according to the ‘Yangju City Parking Lot Ordinance,’ and the operation and management of these facilities will be handled by Yangju Urban Corporation.

The public restrooms, which are also opening together, were designed as spaces that consider everyone beyond simple convenience facilities.

They have received Barrier-Free (BF) certification to ensure that socially vulnerable groups such as the disabled and elderly can use them without inconvenience, and emergency bells have been installed for visitor safety to prevent crime and enable quick response in emergencies.

A Yangju City official said, “Gisan Reservoir is a gem embraced by nature, and through the opening of these facilities, we hope more people can fully enjoy its beauty,” adding, “We will continue to carefully cultivate local tourism resources to make it a destination that everyone wants to visit.”
