Gangwon

Bangtaesan National Recreational Forest

Bangtaesan National Recreational Forest sits deep in the mountains of Inje County, Gangwon Province, covering densely forested terrain fed by clean streams and valleys. Managed by the Korea Forest Service, the forest offers cabin accommodations, designated hiking trails, and forest bathing zones that draw visitors seeking a quieter alternative to more crowded national parks. The trails range in difficulty and lead through old-growth forest to ridgeline views. The surrounding watershed keeps the air notably clean, and the site is accessible by car from the Soyang River corridor. It remains one of Gangwon's less commercialized woodland retreats.
