Visitors can access Dalseong Marsh Ecological Park via a floating walkway across the river. In the vicinity, the Samunjin Jumakchon Village offers traditional beverages and delicacies, including makgeolli (unrefined rice wine) and pajeon (green onion pancake). With well-maintained walking trails, cafés, and picnic spots, the park serves as an ideal destination for family outings.

Samunjin was the location of a ferry dock on the Nakdonggang River in the past. During the Japanese occupation, the area was turned into a recreation ground, which saw many people coming to enjoy leisure strolls. In November 2013, three hanok jumak (traditional dining establishment) were built at the site of the old dock and the current Samunjin Jumakchon Village was opened.  The jumak serve a range of foods that were enjoyed in the past, such as makgeolli, gukbap, and buchujeon (chives pancake). The village is well-known as a place to enjoy the sunset.
