You can launch your SUP trip right from the shore next to the Retkeilymaja hiking lodge. The shores of Lake Kiltua and Lake Haajainen offer many great rest spots where you can swim or grill sausages over a campfire.
Want to make it an overnight trip? Paddle out to Savisaari, a secluded island on Lake Haajainen, where you can spend the night in a genuine wilderness hut. The rustic Savisaari Fishing Hut includes a wood-heated sauna.
For an adventurous combo, try stand-up paddleboarding and hiking in one trip. Paddle from Jyrkkä to the Kiusalankangas lean-to shelter (about 15 km), then hike back to Ruukin Tupa via the Volokinpolku Trail (another 15 km). It’s a full-day outing, but you can also take it slow and spend the night at the Savisaari Fishing Hut along the way.
