Types of Activities to Consider During the Holiday
Chuseok is a great time to get outside! The weather is often gorgeous since the summer heat has faded and a cool breeze often blows across the rice paddies. Since restaurants in the area you are interested in might be closed, it is a great time to plan a picnic!

This is a wonderful place to spend outside with the family. Plenty of space for kids to run and play. Every year locals go here early in the morning to celebrate the New Year.

The Pyeongtaek Lake Recreation Area businesses will mostly be closed, which makes it the perfect spot for a Chuseok picnic with friends. You can’t BBQ in the park but you can certainly pack some sandwiches and head that way.

경기도 평택시 장안동 11-2
Description
Not far from Buraksan (in fact, you can link these trails together) you will find entrance to an expanding area of hiking and biking trails off the backside of Gukjae University. You actually drive through the university campus and out a tiny back road to get to these trails. Drive carefully and be sure to go here. Its beautiful and worth it. There are also excellent restaurants near the trail head.
Parking Heads Up: its best to park in the University parking and follow the riad back to the parking.
Hiking is always a great choice over the Chuseok holiday. Maybe it’s time to try a new trail. We recommend the Jangan Hiking and Biking trails because they are only about a 20-minute drive from Sinjang-dong (near Osan Air Force Base) which has many businesses that remain open during the Chuseok holiday.
