Yeongwol Donggang River (동강(영월))

Gangwon · Parks & nature

The Donggang River flows through Gangwon State, starting at the point where Odaecheon Stream and Joyanggang River meet and flows into the Namhangang River. The Donggang River spans an area of 60 kilometers from Jeongseon to Yeongwol. It is a well-preserved river, left untouched due to the strong current of the waters and the rugged geography of the mountains. It follows a snaky path splitting the chiseled cliffs surrounding it.
