Kolovesi National Park
Kolovesi National Park and adjacent Joutenvesi Nature Reserve is close to the paradise for kayakers. These two lakes consist of mainly narrow water paths without big open areas so kayaking should be relaxing even during high winds.
Overnight staying is in most cases limited to only official campsites, that offers fireplace, simple non-water toilets and a few places for tents.
Due to limited places for tents, only a pair of tents in the same group is recommended.
