Cheongpyeong Lake

청평호

Cheongpyeong, Gapyeong · 가평

A long reservoir on the Bukhan river ringed by steep wooded hills, with water-ski and wakeboard operators along the shore and pension houses above them.

Why it’s worth it

It is the closest real water sport to Seoul and the reason Gapyeong has a weekend economy at all. Quietest midweek, chaotic in August.
