Rokua National Park, National park and UNESCO Global Geopark in Northern Ostrobothnia, Finland.
The park features inland dunes, kettle hole lakes, and esker ridges formed by glacial activity, creating a distinct northern landscape with pine forests.
Established in 1956, the protected area preserves geological formations from the Ice Age, including the Baltic Shield bedrock and Quaternary landforms.
The 8.8 square kilometer park demonstrates Finnish commitment to nature preservation while maintaining public access through marked trails and facilities.
Visitors can access multiple entry points from the municipalities of Vaala, Muhos, and Utajärvi, with facilities including campfire sites and overnight accommodations.
Syvyydenkaivo, located within the park boundaries, stands as Finland's deepest kettle hole, reaching a depth of 50 meters.
