The Dongseogang Garden Cheongnyeongpowon project involves creating a garden by utilizing the Yeongwol Reservoir, which was developed for the Four Major Rivers Project in 2012. The total area is 68 hectares, with the main garden section located in Section 2 of the Yeongwol Reservoir (42 Bangjeol-ri, Yeongwol-eup, Yeongwol County), covering 15 hectares.

Cheongnyeongpowon consists of five main themes: Forest of Yeongwol, Forest of the Land, Forest of Spirit, Forest of Life, and Forest of People. Detailed features include Paeingul and Dolgaewon, which symbolize Yeongwol, as well as a native plant garden, pine forest, birch forest, barefoot walking experience, and seasonal flower plantings to welcome visitors.

In addition, in connection with the Smart Complex Rest Area Cheongnyeong Forest (CheongnyeongforRest) on National Route 38, various amenities will be provided for visitors, including food and beverage facilities (cafe, restaurant, convenience store), an agricultural products market, experience zones, and parking lots. Visitors can also access the garden directly from the rest area.

Choi Myungseo, Governor of Yeongwol County, stated, "The Dongseogang Garden Cheongnyeongpowon represents the fruition of our county's efforts to achieve the goal of making Yeongwol a 'garden city.' It is expected to become a valuable asset in solidifying our position as an outdoor garden destination for the Seoul metropolitan area. As we celebrate this with the opening ceremony, I hope many residents will attend and grace the occasion."

The Dongseogang Garden Cheongnyeongpowon will begin full-scale operations after the opening ceremony. It will be open daily from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (closed on the last Monday of each month).
