Chuncheon City in Gangwon Province (Mayor Yuk Donghan) will build a 2-meter-wide deck trail stretching 1.23 kilometers from the Citizens’ Forest parking lot, which is in the direction of Soyang River Dam, to the No. 1 public parking lot at Soyang River Dam (San 74-3, Cheonjeon-ri, Sinbuk-eup). This section will feature an eco-friendly design that harmonizes with the surrounding landscape, as well as rest areas and scenic viewpoints.

This project, named the “Soyang River Dam Walking Trail Construction Project,” will be carried out with a total investment of 4 billion won. The goal is to provide citizens and tourists with a safe and pleasant pedestrian space where they can enjoy the natural scenery of the Soyang River up close. Last year, the city secured 3.2 billion won in national funding and completed the detailed design and coordination with related agencies. Completion is scheduled for December 2026.

A Chuncheon City official stated, “The Soyang River walking trail will become a new attraction where citizens can comfortably walk and experience nature,” adding, “We will carry out the construction safely and systematically to create a space that citizens can be satisfied with.”
