Isojärvi National Park

Forested ridges, bogs and lakeshore trails in Central Finland

Isojärvi National Park lies beside the lake Isojärvi, which gives it its name, in Central Finland. Its uneven scenery is dominated by Scots pine and Norway spruce forests and bogs, and traces of early human settlement and cultivation have been found here.
