A one-day kayaking trip in Leivonmäki National Park is an experiential moment in the wonderful, versatile nature of the national park where we get to know different parts of the lake.

The starting point is near the Selänpohja parking lot. At first, we pack the kayaks together for the trip, starting around 3 pm. We will first get to know the Sorsanselkä area, the wonderful sandy beaches, and perhaps stop for a stroll in Joutsniemi. We continue our journey admiring the island chains and cottage beaches of Keskisenvesi, arriving at the Salmela channel. We paddle through the channel and arrive at Ranskalainen which is Rutjärvi’s biggest ridge. According to the preliminary plan, we will paddle towards Niinisaari and set up camp there or nearby (a lean-to and a fire place located here).

After the camp has been set up, there is an opportunity for a few hours of evening kayaking, or just relaxing in the camp. Also possibility for example fishing.

The next morning we get to know the northern parts of Ranskalainen ridge and head back towards Sorsanselkä and Selänpohja parking lot via Niinisaari. We’ll be back around 3 pm.

There are places for 9 people on the trip and five different single kayaks, one double and one Indian canoe are available. If you choose a kayak duo or an Indian canoe, book them for two people.

Departure from Selänpohja shed at 15:00. Return the next day at 15:00.

It would be good for the participants of the excursion to have experience in paddling or otherwise demonstrated knowledge and paddling fitness.

–          kayak or canoe (place)
–          a paddle
–          paddling bra
–          hatch cover for kayak
