京都の自然200選(宇治市)

カワセミの生息する天ヶ瀬ダム湖(鳳凰湖)

Date of photo: 2025/08

Unfortunately it seems that there is no K200 signpost for this one, at least not that anyone knows about. The photo above is from up in the hills to the north of the lake in question. It can be accessed via a very steep set of stairs on the north side of the dam itself. There is also an excellent park there in the hills (天ケ瀬森林公園), which we explored thoroughly. We encountered precisely zero other people in the park; this is perhaps due to the fact that simply getting to this park is a small challenge.
