Canoe trip and Soomaa’s wild fifth season at Karuskose

The fifth season of Soomaa is the early spring flood period, when rivers overflow their banks and flood forests, roads, and meadows. The high water usually lasts only a few weeks, but its impact is powerful. This is the best time for canoe trips, as trails and forest paths become waterways, revealing a completely different and very special Soomaa.

Accompanied by an experienced guide, you can experience a canoe trip that takes you straight to the heart of the high water. A pleasant day in Soomaa National Park is suitable for all nature lovers, canoeists, teams, and families, to be away from phone signals and everyday thoughts, and experience Soomaa’s high water in its most authentic form around Karuskose Farm. You start the trip with a canoe session where you learn tricks to make the trip enjoyable and exciting. Drift downstream with the flow of the water, the weather, and your mood.

After the trip, you can enjoy a Finnish sauna with meadow views (high water sauna) and jump into the river, make a campfire, and order dinner from the Red Book Restaurant.
