Eunpa Lake Park, a peaceful retreat in Gunsan, South Korea, offers visitors a chance to unwind with scenic walks, local art and tranquil lakeside views.
With well-maintained trails and a picturesque bridge, the park is a popular spot for families, couples and solo visitors seeking a break from city life.
The main parking lot, about a 30-minute drive from Kunsan Air Base, is near an outdoor amphitheater that serves as the starting point for the park’s two trails. Visitors will find small art installations and exercise equipment along the way, adding to the park’s charm.
Eunpa Lake Park features two distinct trails. The longer, left-hand path is unpaved and winds through dense trees and foliage, offering a more natural setting. The right-hand trail, in contrast, is paved and alternates between wooden and turf walkways, providing a more direct route to the park’s iconic bridge.

Designed with families in mind, Eunpa Lake Park has restrooms at both ends of the trails for added convenience.
