Southern Konnevesi National Park
The cool lake waters of Southern Konnevesi are of excellent quality and among the key habitats of the wild brown trout (Salmo trutta lacustris) in southern Finland.
Southern Konnevesi National Park was founded in 2014. This national park area covers 15 square kilometres. Here you can enjoy the wide open waters of the lake in a boat, or canoe through a maze of islands among smooth glaciated rocks and vertical rock walls. In the clear water, you will be able to catch a glimpse of the depths that are the domain of the wild lake brown trout. Breathtaking contrasts characterise this national park. You can trek from herb-rich forests to high cliffs for a view over the magnificent landscape of the osprey.
Metsähallitus has a cooperation agreement with the businesses listed here and they follow the principles of sustainable nature tourism (www.metsa.fi) when operating in the national park.
