About Eongtto Falls (eongtto pokpo [엉또폭포])
Eongtto Falls (Eongtto Pokpo [엉또폭포]) was a temporary waterfall that only flows during or immediately after heavy rain.
Therefore, when this 50m waterfall does flow, it’s actually a pretty big deal, which was something we personally witnessed during our late June 2023 visit under some persistent heavy rain conditions.
Heck, it was a big enough deal that the car park and the walk to the falls was like a zoo during our visit.
Moreover, there was some TV crew filming at the falls, and they actually kicked people off the viewing deck so they can film (we were among those kicked out)!
Indeed, this was one of those love-hate kind of waterfalls because when it’s not flowing, I’ve seen reviews lamenting the fact that they took the trouble to come here only to be disappointed.
Anyways, starting from the car park (see directions below), which had a limited amount of parking space, we then walked back across the bridge leading to the path for the falls.
After crossing the bridge, we then followed a walkway along the Akgeuncheon Stream for about 300m before going up steps to the Eongttopokpo Waterfall lookout, which has a lower and upper level.
From the lower level, the foliage fronting the waterfall makes it appear less taller than what the 50m figure might suggest.
The view is a little better at the upper level of the lookout, but that’s where things got really crowded with people (especially since everyone had umbrellas) during our visit.
Once we were booted out of the upper level of the lookout so the TV crew could film, we then headed down a different trail leading past a citrus field before going down a sloping road to rejoin the trail we were on earlier.
Overall, we spent about 30 minutes away from the car, and it really seemed like there were more cars queueing up waiting for a parking spot to open when we returned versus when we first got here in the mid-afternoon (after 3pm).
