Paroho Lake is a manmade lake created when Hwacheon Dam was built in the valley of the Bukhangang River. The lake was once referred to as Daebungho Lake for its resembling image of an imaginary phoenix rising with its wings spread wide open when seen from afar. The area was a territory of North Korea after Korea's independence, but became a South Korean territory after the Korean War.
