Outdoors
Kuusijärvi is a place of recreation for the whole nation where you can enjoy the sauna, swimming and nature all year round. Kuusijärvi is a gateway to Sipoonkorpi National Park.
Outdoor activities
Exercise trails
Kuusijärvi offers several illuminated exercise trails that serve as ski tracks in winter and as walking, running, and cycling routes during the rest of the year. Some of the ski tracks are designated as shared-use routes. These areas are marked with signs. These include the Sudentassu light‑traffic bridge, which is shared by skiers and other outdoor visitors during winter.
Bicycling
Cycling is allowed on Kuusijärvi’s excercise trails with consideration for other users. Cycling on the beach area is not permitted. You can start your bicycle ride from Kuusijärvi and take the Sudentassu bridge to get to Sipoonkorpi National Park. Bicycling in the national park is allowed on the clearly distinct paths and roads.
Sudentassu bridge (“Wolf’s Paw”)
The Sudentassu light‑traffic bridge was completed in 2019 and improved connections from Kuusijärvi to Sipoonkorpi National Park. The distance from the Kuusijärvi parking area to the bridge is approximately 1 km.
Accessible campfire site
The campfire area includes one covered grill with a chimney, two open fire pits, picnic tables, scenic decks, and waste bins.
