Summer on Joutsijärvi (i.e. Swan Lake) is amazing! Swimming, fishing and enjoy nature with your all senses. One of the centremost parts of the recreational traditions at Joutsijärvi is, however, that you are supposed to move around in nature alone or with your friends. In Joutsijärvi you can hear the silence. Experiencing how night and day meet each other and experiencing the way light and shadows play with each other will amaze many of you. Around Midsummer, in fact, there are lot of people who sail off onto these waters. Even at night.Hikers’ Info Centre Sataseitti allows rowboats for rent on Joutsijärvi. You can rent our boats for a one or for several days at a time. The Church Boat Association always provides you with a skipper, who will also function as your guide. Rent, price enquiries and questions for Church Boat Association to their mobile phone number +358 40 561 0610 or +358 40 588 2170. Canoes and guided outdooring service, outfit provided you also Janne’s Safaris p. +358 40 575 4184. On a clear summer night which is light in its shortness moving around on these waters is safe, if the paddler or rower is experienced. However, navigating on night waters never really goes without danger. Joutsijärvi is stony, and be it times of high or low water level, there are always some rocky shallows which can stop your boat at once, or may perhaps snap your oar, or may otherwise scratch the bottom of your boat, even though they cannot always be seen. Welcome to experience the nature of the night lake, to admire the clear nights of midsummer on Joutsijärvi!
