Enjoy the scenery on pedals and two wheels!

The most extensive official mountain bike trails in the Rokua Geopark area can be found in Rokua National Park. There are also combined hiking and mountain biking trails in Manamansalo on Lake Oulujärvi and in the Oulujoki Valley Tar Routes. You can bike on your own or take a guided tour.

Mountain bike trails in Rokua National Park

The terrain of the Rokua ridge and dune area is perfect for mountain biking: the routes are wide and level, with only few difficult rocks or ruts. In the National Park area there are about 45 kilometres of marked mountain bike trails on the ridges; here the gradients can be challenging even for experienced cyclists and mountain bike enthusiasts. In winter, a 9.4-kilometre multi-use trail also suitable for fatbiking is maintained in Rokua.

Please stay on the marked mountain bike trails! The terrain in Rokua is very fragile. Cycling off the trails causes unnecessary wear and tear on the landscape and vegetation.

Vaala–Rokua hiking and cycling trail

The route between Vaala and Rokua National Park is now open to hiking and mountain biking. At the Vaala end, the trail starts near Vaalankurkku and continues through marshlands and the Little Rokua dunes to Rokua National Park.

  • Opening in early summer 2024

Oulu River Valley Tar Route

The Tar Route follows the Oulu River from Sankivaara in Oulu to the Rokua National Park. The route is challenging for mountain bikers in places, especially in the swampy areas and on the rocky banks of the Oulu River. Please be careful when cycling as there are also hikers on the Tar Route.

Lake Oulu Camping, Manamansalo

Mountain biking is also possible on the trails of Lake Oulu Camping in Manamansalo. The terrain and the scenery are reminiscent of the magnificent pine forests of Rokua National Park but have the added flavour of breathtaking lake scenery. The paths are narrow in places and there are also hikers on the trails, so be careful when cycling.
