Piagol is a valley and a representative trail of Jirisan National Park, located in Togi-myeon, Gurye County. Its water rises from the midslope of Banyabong, the second-highest peak of Jirisan, and flows through forest before joining the Seomjin River. The valley is known for its waterfalls and pools, and its autumn foliage from mid-October to early November is counted among the Ten Scenic Views of Jirisan. The name is said to come from the millet fields once common here, which gave rise to Piagol. Trails along the valley range from a 2 km round trip for beginners to an 8 km round trip to Piagol Shelter for advanced hikers.
