But there’s a fantastic story.
Bogwangsa Temple is a small lakeside temple on one of the most scenic edges of Yeongnangho Lake. Founded in 1937, it adds a quieter Buddhist stop to Sokcho's lake route, with stories of a carved 'Gwaneum' rock behind the temple, a jade reclining Buddha made by Burmese monk-sculptors, and a wooden Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva connected to an unusually personal 17th-century devotional story.
Pro tip
Use Bogwangsa as a calm stop on a Yeongnangho walk rather than as a major temple visit. It works best with Song Si-yeol's inscription rock, Yeongnangho lake views, and a slow loop around the northern lake edge.
