Yeongwol Donggang River

The Donggang River flows through the Gangwon-do district, and is a tributary of the Namhangang River. The Donggang River spans an area of 60 kilometers from Jeongseon to Yeongwol. It is a well-preserved river, left untouched due to the strong current of the waters and the rugged geography of the mountains. It follows a snaky path splitting the chiseled cliffs surrounding it. Many tourists visit the area to see rare animals such as otters, Mandarin ducks, and Chinese scops owls and more. The Donggang River is also famous for white-water rafting.
