Review:
Lake Saimaa is the largest lake in Finland and one of the largest lakes in all of Europe, with about 1,700 square miles of water, and it was formed by the melting of a massive glacier at the close of the last ice age. Lake Saimaa is dotted with many beautiful islands, some of which are tiny and many of which are completely uninhabited. Visitors can rent a kayak, canoe, or boat or opt to take a steamboat tour with an experienced guide, who will point out specific islands and points of interest, tell stories, and explain the history behind the sights and scenery, allowing visitors to relax and enjoy their trip.
