How to Get There

Seomjingang Bike Path
How to get to the Seomjingang Bicycle Path.

The Seomjingang Bike Path is the toughest to access with your bike. Passing only two mid-to-small-sized cities, a supermarket/bus terminal marks the closest entry point and a highway rest stop forms the nearest exit.

Here are your transportation options:

Intercity Bus

The Seomjingang Bike Path lacks major intercity bus terminals near its start and finish lines. And route-choked intercity bus terminals living in people-leaking districts populate its midsection.

However, short of a personal car, intercity buses remain the best option to access the cycling path with your bike.

The Start

The Seomjingang Dam Certification Center (섬진강댐 인증센터; map) is the Seomjingang Bike Path’s start line. It dwells near the bottom Imsil County (임실군; map).

To reach it by intercity bus, you have two less-than-ideal options.
