Petkeljärvi National Park is a exellent destination for day trips. Kuikan Kierros Nature Trail (6.5 km) runs in varied terrain along picturesque ridges. The trail leads walkers past beaver dams and flood meadows, through pine woods scarred by forest fires, to Petkeljärvi Outdoor Centre. Harjupolku Trail (3.5 km) is part of the same route. Korkeasärkkä Trail (2 km) offers beautiful views of Lake Valkiajärvi and Lake Kaitajärvi.
