About

Jikyeon Falls is a 15-meter waterfall on the Suip Stream, which flows into Lake Paro in Bangsan-myeon. It is named for the stream dropping straight down, and a cliff of about 20 meters rises around it like a screen. A walking path leads to good viewpoints, and the pool below, about 20 meters deep, is home to freshwater fish such as crucian carp, carp, and catfish. It is a popular summer swimming spot, and hiking trails are nearby.
