Puurijärvi-Isosuo National Park

Puurijärvi-Isosuo features extensive swamp areas and a lake system that forms a crucial habitat for numerous migratory and resident bird species throughout the year.

The national park, established in 1993, encompasses territories where archaeological findings indicate human presence dating back to the Stone Age period.

The park serves as an educational center where visitors learn about Finnish wetland ecosystems through interpretive trails and observation towers.

Three marked hiking trails ranging from 500 meters to 2 kilometers connect to birdwatching towers, with facilities including fire pits and dry toilets.

The park contains rare raised bog formations typical of coastal Finland, providing habitat for European beavers and supporting 27 square kilometers of protected wetlands.
