Activities in Meiko

Hiking

Meiko has three marked hiking trails winding through forests and past lakes and ponds. The trails run through varying terrain, often with exposed roots and rocky terrain. In addition, you will find a criss-crossing network of small forest paths. Rest stops are located on the shores of Korsolampi Lake and Lake Meiko.

Bird watching

Lake Meiko is an excellent place to spot different waterfowl, such as the black-throated diver.  This handsome and loud bird thrives at wild lakes and indeed likes Lake Meiko as well. There are many forest species. In the spring, you can hear owls hooting.
