Paroho Lake
Gangwon-do(Yanggu-gun)

Paroho is a man-made lake that was completed in 1943. The lake was created due to the construction of a hydraulic power plant in Hwacheon during Japanese colonial rule. The name was given after President Syngman Rhee designated a plaque in his own handwriting naming the body of water ‘Paroho Lake.’ The power plant has a generation capacity of 105,000 kilowatts, and the lake is one of the top fishing grounds in Korea as it is abundant in freshwater fish.
