Apr 3, 2026

Adds a reported 6.11 km connector into the Gwangju-Naju-Hwasun and Yeongsan River cycling network, but ride quality still needs checking.

Naju opened a 6.11 km Jiseokcheon bike path segment between Sanpo and Nampyeong, connecting into the wider Gwangju-Naju-Hwasun and Yeongsan River riding network.

Current status

Probably yes.

The city held an opening event on April 2, 2026, and reports published on April 3 say the section is open. Surface, crossing friction, signage, and weekend crowding still need checking before calling it a good ride.

Rider impact

Maybe, if you are already riding the Yeongsan River area.

Do not plan a whole trip around the press-release version yet. Ride it as a connector first, then decide if it deserves a fuller write-up.

Useful details

Reported segment: Sanpo to Nampyeong, 6.11 km. Surface, crossings, and signage still need an on-bike check before calling it a strong recommendation.
