| Description |
Daecheongho Lake is the third largest artificial lake in Korea, and the name
comes from Daejeon’s “Dae” and Cheongwon-gun’s “Cheong”. The project began in
1975 and finished in 1980, and there is about 1,5 Billion tons of water in the
lake that provide water to the people in the Daejeon and Cheongju areas.
Daecheongho Lake is the result of damming the Geumgang River, and because it is
such a huge lake, it functions as a source of water supply for the whole region.
Daecheongho Lake is famous for its clear water, the reflections of the mountain
peaks on it, and the morning mist. Mt. Yasan is right by the lake, and create a
beautiful scenery together. The mist that comes up in the morning on the water
is very romantic, and during the day the blue sky and the white clouds bring on
a different sense of harmony. If you follow the water, you can see a thick
forest tunnel, and it is very elegant looking. Daecheongho Lake is also famous
for its winter Hobandoro, and if you go up to the observation tower on the dam,
you can enjoy the scenery even more. At the Dam Promotion office, you can learn
about the daily operation of the dam, and also view multimedia presentations,
aquariums and other interesting things. Many birds come in their season and nest
at Daecheongho Lake. In the summer you can see snowy heron flying low and
catching fish here. Because the scenery are so beautiful here, the lake is known
as one of Daejeon’s most beautiful areas.
