With its sandy shores, Lake Suomunjärvi is a great canoeing destination. You can start a canoeing trip at the Suomu Nature Information Hut and paddle from one shoreline campsite to another. Lake Suomunjärvi is also ideal for rowing. The guide at the Nature Information Hut has canoes and boats for rent.

In early summer, when the waters are high, canoeing is possible on the River Suomunjoki which meanders along the border of the park, running from Lake Suomunjärvi to Lake Koitere. Since you may have to carry your canoe when crossing dozens of beaver dams and fallen tree trunks, this river is for people who are seeking adventure. You should reserve at least one full day to canoe down the entire length of the river.
