The park's terrain is excellent for hiking, and there are several marked trails (1–6 km) that can be combined into longer routes. There are five circular trails: Karpalopolku Trail (1,7 km), Vajosuo Mire Trail (3 km), Savojärvi Trail (6 km), Pukkipalo Trail (6 or 9 km) and the longer Hike of Vajosuo Mire (30 km). The Karpalopolku Trail is accessible and so suitable for baby buggies and wheelchairs but assistant is recommended for people with a wheelchair. Pukkipalo-Takaniitunvuori Nature Trail (1 km) runs through the ancient woodland of Pukkipalo and introduces you to the species found in the area.

There are also several other interesting routes in the park. Some of the trails connect to the Kuhankuono trail network (150 km), which links Kurjenrahka National Park to Vaskijärvi Nature Reserve. There are lean-to shelters and rental cabins for overnight stays in the park.
