Hwaak Valley lies at the end of Hwaak-ri village in Buk-myeon, Gapyeong County, reached from the Mokdong Samgeori junction on the way to Mount Hwaak. It is popular with water-play visitors from June to August, and visitors can ride a bicycle up the valley. Gapyeong County recently improved the area with a lifeguard rest area, life vest rental, disaster CCTV, and evacuation loudspeakers, and cleared the overgrown entrance road. The life vest rental operates only temporarily in summer, and places with past accidents are water-play danger zones, so visitors should take care.
