Review:
The rugged wilderness of Oulanka National Park is simply stunning. Located in the Finnish regions of Lapland and Northern Ostrabothnia, Oulanka National Park has over 100 square miles of hills, forests, and rushing rivers. The park shares its border with Russia and massive Paanajärvi National Park just on the other side. Visitors will find surging rapids in rivers that travel down paths carved by ice age glaciers as well as waterfalls, hanging bridges, and wide meadows. Hiking trails in Oulanka National Park vary from short day trips that can be taken on foot or by snowshoe, depending on the season, to the massive but beautiful 50-mile Karhunkierros Trail.
