Information
Introduction
A lake withholding beauty of peaceful and tranquil atmosphere, Yedang Reservoir is a popular attraction that represents Yesan in Chungcheongnam-do. It was first established in 1962, and was later designated as a national tourist attraction in 1986. The total area is 1088ha, surpassing Seoul's Yeouido’s area by 3.7 times. Several nutrients and resources flow into the reservoir from Muhancheon Stream and Sinyangcheon Stream, serving as a perfect habitat to many aquatic species as well as a popular fishing spot. Fishing is available all year round from early spring to late fall, including ice fishing in winter. Several tourist attractions are located near the reservoir, including Palgakjeong Pavilion, a grand statue park, a camping site, an outdoor performance stage, etc. Located near the reservoir is Uijoeun Hyeongjae Village, a village in Daeheung-myeon designated as a Slow City in 2009.
