What this directory covers

Totals count published records. A mountain and its wider national park have separate entries. A place spanning several search regions appears under each, and counts once in the overall total.

Mountains · 3,395
100 places from the Korea Forest Service’s 100 Mountains guide. 3,294 additional mountain and peak records use ForestMate’s published snapshot of the Forest Service mountain information service. These records identify localities. Confirm the trailhead separately with the local authority.
Rivers · 3,780
The 31 December 2024 river register has 3,842 basin-level entries, including 81 national and 3,761 local registrations. Grouping by river code and name gives 3,780 named river records. 89 include a national section after the 2025 designations. Smaller unregistered streams fall outside its scope. Map searches identify the watercourse. Check public access separately.
Coastal places · 71
58 of the 58 Haean Nuri coastal routes, plus 13 selected coastal places.
Beaches · 283
283 beach records in this directory. Badaon’s 2026 national beach list contains 283 records, including beaches listed as not opening that season. Seasonal dates are historical planning information.
