Rokua Geopark

Rokua National Park provides a fantastic setting for hiking. The park’s marked hiking routes pass through age-old forests and beside small, crystal-clear lakes. There are also campfire sites, and possibility for tenting at Pitkäjärvi.

Rokua National Park was founded in 1956 for protecting Rokua’s untouched lichen heaths and unique geological features. Rokua is one of the old national parks in Finland, of which the first ones were founded in 1938 and the next ones in 1956.

The park is located in the southern boundary of an esker formation, consisting of dunes, kettleholes and mires, small crystal-clear lakes, and ancient shore plateaus and banks. There are also old, rare, natural pine forests, which include many snags and huge old trees. Rokua National Park is Finland’s most important forest heath protection area.
