Tapjeong Reservoir ({{Korean|hangul=탑정 저수지}}; also {{Korean|hangul=탑정호|rr=Tapjeongho}}) is a reservoir that has been classified as the second great scenic location in Nonsan, South Korea by the municipality. It is located in Mujeok-myeon, Gayagok-myeon, and Yangchon-myeon in Nonsan, outside of the city proper. Freshwater fish such as carp, mandarin, and catfish are in the body of water.{{Cite web|url=http://english.nonsan.go.kr/nsforeign/user.tdf?a=common.HtmlApp&c=6002&page=/html/english/nslife/nslife_08_01.html&mc=ENG_NSL_080|title=Error -페이지를 찾을수 없습니다}} Other significant fauna include cockscomb pearl mussels and golden and red-bellied frogs.{{Cite web|url = http://www.iwapublishing.com/template.cfm?name=news1245|title = Water21 - magazine of the International Water Association News from 3 July 2012|date = |accessdate = 2014-09-06|website = |publisher = IWA|last = |first = }} The water is used in part for irrigation of down-stream farms. The dam was recently re-built. There are a number of hotels and restaurants along the circumferential road where it is near the dam. Swimming is prohibited, though fishing is permitted and boating, including water-skiing, is seen on the lake.

History

The reservoir was constructed during the years 1941 to 1944.

During the second decade of the twenty-first century, work was completed on the waterfront, including an "eco-park" with walkways over a part of the reservoir and introduced aquatic and terrestrial plants.{{Cite web|url = http://www.newsis.com/ar_detail/view.html?ar_id=NISX20130802_0012265325&cID=10807&pID=10800|script-title=ko:논산시, 탑정호 수변개발사업 추진 가속행보 |date = 2013-08-02|accessdate = 2013-11-26 }}

During the drought of 2012, the lowered water level in the reservoir killed more than two thousand of the rare large mussels.
