The Juolasvesi lake has more than 100 islands and connects to other lakes so there is plenty to explore by boat. You might want to go for a picknik on one of the islands or just explore them for fun. Or you might want to visit some of the other destinations.

Some destinations for boat-trips are:

  • Pieni Linnasaari (aka "Small Fort Island") with a wooden pier and campingsite including a fireplace (about 2,1 km by boat).

  • Haukkavuori (aka "Hawk Mountain") camping site with fireplace, scenic view from the mountain top and rock paintings originating from the stone or bronze age (about 5.1 km away by boat).

  • Linnasaari (aka "Fort Island") with a Lapp Cairn (it is an ancient ritual stone structure) (about 2 km by boat). More info here: https://www.juolas.com/en_US/activities/lapp-cairn-by-boat

The distances mentioned above are ONE WAY. Please note that you might also want to come back by boat :)
