Okcheon Busodamak: A 600 m Route from the Parking Lot to the Chusori Viewpoint

Busodamak in Okcheon is a 600 m walk from the official parking lot to Chusojung. The key is to enter the Chusori parking-lot address, not the attraction’s address, in your navigation app.

📌 Busodamak in Okcheon: 700 m Rock Formation Like a Folding Screen Above the Water

Why Does It Look Like It’s Floating on the Water?

Busodamak became a landform that looks like a rock folding screen spread across the water when part of the mountain was submerged after the Daecheong Dam was completed. The jagged cliff runs 700 m, and it was selected in 2008 as one of Korea’s 100 Beautiful Rivers. (Source: Okcheon County Culture & Tourism)

Visitor Information at a Glance

Based on information checked in 2026, admission is free and the site is open year-round.

🚗 How to Get to the Chusori Viewpoint

Enter the Parking-Lot Address in Your Navigation App

Set your destination to 752-6 Chusori, Gunbuk-myeon, Okcheon-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do. After passing the underpass in front of the Gunbuk-myeon Administrative Welfare Center, turn right and drive about 5 km toward the Busodamak parking lot.

After Parking, Follow the Signs for 600 m

After parking, follow the Chusojung sign and walk 600 m. In 2021, a 400 m viewing deck was also installed toward Chusori village, so you can take in the scenery from either direction.

🅿️ Comparing Parking Addresses and Important Notes

Use 752-6 Chusori as the Parking Reference

Chungbuk Naduri lists 752-6 Chusori as the official parking-lot address. The most confusing part when cross-checking the information was that the attraction and parking addresses are listed separately.

Hwansan-ro 518 Is the Attraction Address

Hwansan-ro 518 is the attraction address for Busodamak and Chusojung. The official information does not separately list the parking capacity or fee, so follow the signs on site when parking.

If the address shows up differently on the map, remember it this way: park at 752-6 Chusori, then follow the signs to Chusojung.

🔍 Chusojung Views and Walking Precautions

See the Folding-Screen Rock from Chusojung

From Chusojung, you can look down on Busodamak stretching across the water. Rather than stopping for a quick look from the road, walk up to the pavilion to see the main view of this hidden gem.

Distinguish the Stairs from the Narrow Ridge

Chusojung is reached by stairs, so wheelchair or stroller access is difficult. Beyond the pavilion, the ridge is a hiking section with a narrow trail and drop-offs. If I were planning a casual trip to Okcheon, I would make Chusojung the turnaround point.

🍜 Food Picks After Your Okcheon Trip

Try Fish Noodle Soup and Doribaengbaengi

In Cheongsan-myeon, Okcheon, fish noodle soup, which began as noodles added to spicy freshwater-fish stew in the 1960s, has become a local specialty. Doribaengbaengi, made by arranging small freshwater fish in a circle and cooking them, is another dish worth seeking out.

Choose Based on Operating Hours

The Cheongsan Fish Noodle Soup Street is not a restaurant district right in front of Busodamak, so it fits best on an itinerary that continues to Cheongsan-myeon.
