The northern part of Oulanka National Park is known for its dramatic river landscapes, deep canyon formations, and powerful rapids. This quieter area of the park offers visitors a chance to experience the wild beauty of Lapland with fewer crowds and impressive natural scenery.
One of the highlights is Oulanka Canyon, where the Oulankajoki River has carved steep cliffs and rugged rock formations through the forest.
A suspension bridge and trails in the area allow visitors to safely admire the force of the water and the beauty of the surrounding wilderness.
Together, the canyon landscapes and roaring rapids make the northern section of Oulanka National Park a memorable destination for hikers, photographers, and nature lovers seeking authentic Nordic wilderness.
