Canoeing and SUP-boarding

The area’s versatile water routes offer a range of options for beginners to more experienced canoeists. The clear waters of Hossa are ideal for canoeing and stand-up paddleboarding. Visitors can take a multi-day canoeing trip by combining longer canoeing routes with the resting places along them. Hossa National Park’s many wilderness cabins, lean-to-shelters and campfire sites also serve those who are travelling on the park’s waterways.

In Yli-Vuokki, in the eastern part of Suomussalmi, there is an approximately 20 km canoeing route, leading through the waterways of the Yli-Vuokki recreational fishing area. The launching point is located at the southern end of Lake Alanteenjärvi down from the Kivijärvi rapids.
