Chungcheong Province is also called Hoseo Province because it is located west of the lake, and the lake referred to here is Uirimji. Uirimji is an old and famous reservoir. A North Chungcheong Province monument, Uirimji was built during the Three Kingdoms Period and was originally called Imji. Legend has it that during the reign of King Jinheung of Silla, the music saint Ureuk built a dam by blocking a stream. Another story goes that 700 years later, the county magistrate Park Ui-rim rebuilt it to make it more solid. With a lakeside circumference of 1.8 km, a full water surface area of 151,470 m2, a reservoir of 6,611,891 m2, and a depth of 8-13 m, Uirimji serves as a massive reservoir, irrigating 289.4 jeongbo of farmland. Along with Byeokgolje in Gimje and Susanje in Miryang, this is one of the irrigation facilities of the Three Kingdoms Period. Its earthenware-built water conduits serve as valuable resources for studying agricultural techniques of the time. Today, it is a scenic spot in the Jecheon region. Surrounding the lake are Yeonghojeong Pavilion, built in 1807 (the seventh year of King Sunjo's reign), Gyeonghoru Pavilion, built in 1948, and hundreds of-year-old pine and weeping willow trees, as well as a 30-meter-tall natural waterfall, adding to the scenic beauty.

Cheongpungnaru was a ferry crossing on Cheongpung Lake, located in Cheongpung-myeon, Jecheon-si, North Chungcheong Province. While the exact date of its construction is unknown, it appears to have been used since before the Joseon Dynasty. Before the flooding, the river was approximately 250 meters wide. Due to the rapids and shallow waters, boats used oars to navigate the river. The ferry was used by schoolchildren to commute, and local residents to gather wood or sell firewood at the Cheongpung Market. The ferry carried 60 to 70 passengers a day. With the construction of the Chungju Dam, which formed Cheongpung Lake, a pier was opened at the former site in September 1984. Cheongpungnaru serves as the departure and arrival point for cruise ships plying the lake. Parking is available in the dedicated parking lot, and passengers must then proceed to the boarding area. Once at the pier, they will fill out a boarding form and submit it to the ticket booth along with their ID. Upon verification, they will be issued a boarding pass. A round trip from Cheongpung Ferry to Jangheung Ferry takes about an hour and a half, and passengers are advised to arrive at the boarding point 30 minutes before departure. Boarding a cruise from here allows you to enjoy the surrounding scenery, which blends seamlessly with the lake. The Cheongpung-Janghoe Ferry route, in particular, is a popular destination, offering panoramic views of Chungju Lake, including the Chungju Bridge, Oksunbong Peak, Gudambong Peak, and Geumsu Mountain.
