Simhangsan Mountain, located adjacent to Chungjuho Lake, is affectionately known as Jongdaengi Mountain due to the presence of a shrine. The construction of Chungju Dam in 1985 led to the formation of Chungjuho Lake and the subsequent disappearance of a village. The Jongdaengi Trail, a scenic walking path along Simhangsan Mountain, offers breathtaking views of Chungjuho Lake. Along the trail, visitors can discover an ecological pond and a suspension bridge, enhancing the overall experience.
