There is a 4-km trail around the lake, easily trekked by people of all ages since it is short and well maintained. If you are driving, you can access the trail from either the upper or lower parking lots. It is easier to access the waterside deck trail from the lower lot, while you have immediate access to the sculpture park from the upper lot.

We recommend that you explore the sculpture park first, and then walk along the waterside deck trail around the lake in a counterclockwise direction. At the sculpture park, you will see colorful sculptures and cute duck boats that decorate the lake.
Myeongseongsan Mountain boasts Gyeonggi Province’s designated Eulalia Grass habitat, which makes it another place worth visiting along with Sanjeong Lake. The Sanjeong Lake Myeongseongsan Eulalia Festival is held here every October, and the sight of golden Eulalia Grass swaying at the feet of a huge mountain is truly captivating.
