This is a huge lake created when the Geumho tide embankment was constructed in Yeongam on November 1996, as part of a national project to reclaim some 4.3km stretch of sea from Sampo-ri in Samho-myeon of Yeongam-gun to Byeoram-ri in Hwawon-myeon of Haenam-gun. Some 100 species of migratory birds, numbering some 300,000, live in this area over the winter on the mud flats which are full of things to eat. Around the embankment where the sea water and fresh water meet, there is a great spot to fish for both fresh water and the sea species. This is perhaps the only place in Korea where the long and silvery cutlass fish, usually found in the deeper areas of the ocean, can be caught while sitting on the rocks along the seashore.

Daesosan Signaling Station, created in beginning of the Joseon Dynasty, was the communication tool that sent messages and news via smoke signals and torchlight. The signaling station, often viewable from afar atop the mountain, sent smoke signals during the day and fire signals by night. The Daesosan Signaling Station was one of numerous provincial signaling stations that informed Namsan Signaling Station in Seoul of the status in the Yeongdeok, Chuksanpo region. From Daesosan Signaling Station either fire or smoke signals pass onto Byeolban Station to the south, Pyeonghae Hurisan Station to the north and Gwangsan Station to the west, and then arrives at Namgaksan Signaling Station. Daesosan, a major mountain in the Southeast coast of Yeongdeok, is 282m above sea level. The top of the mountain has a fortress wall made of stone within which the cone-shaped signaling station sits. Daesosan Signaling Station is a well-preserved example of the communication tools used during the Joseon Dynasty.

Oknyeobong Peak is one of the eight scenic views of Nonsan and offers a great overview of the Geumgang River as it flows through the Ganggyeong district. Continuing out into the distance, views of Nonsan and Iksan can be seen, bringing to mind a traditional painting of a mountain and river. The scenery is so beautiful that there is a myth of mountain gods coming down to play and bathe during the full moon. The signal-fire tower at the peak was built to receieve signals from the tower on Gwangduwonsan Mountain in Iksan, and passes the message along to Noseong signal-fire tower. The park is also in the area of the nation's earliest Baptist church, making it famous for people on a pilgrimage to sacred places.
