Exercise gliding on the water

A canoe trip is a great way to discover the nature of Rokua Geopark from a different perspective! Canoeing is a form of exercise similar to hiking where you can train your arms and core muscles and refresh your mind with the breathtaking scenery. Canoeing can be done in a kayak or an open canoe. There are a number of companies in the area that can provide canoeing instruction, information and equipment rental. You can contact them to book equipment already when you are planning your trip.

Good canoeing spots in the Rokua Geopark include the Montta area in Muhos, the Rokua Ponds, Vaalankurkku in Vaala and the Lake Oulu camping area. For more information on canoeing in the northern parts of Lake Oulu, visit the website of the City of Vaala. On Lake Oulu, you need to be aware of the weather conditions as the open areas can be overwhelming for paddlers in strong winds. It is also a good idea to bring spare clothes in a plastic bag regardless of the weather.
