Description

Kiviönniemi Trail is a very short hiking path—about 0.2 km—on the Kiviönniemi peninsula on Lake Päijänne in Korpilahti, Jyväskylä, in Central Finland. It is essentially a spur from Kiviönniemi pysäköintialue to a compact lakeside recreation cluster: Kiviönniemi keittokatos, Kiviönniemen laavu, Kiviönniemi laavu, Kiviönniemi nuotiopaikka, and Kiviönniemi käymälä. For rules that apply across the city’s nature-trail network—such as keeping dogs on leash on nature trails—check the City of Jyväskylä’s Luontopolut pages. Korpilahti.info describes Kiviönniemen laavu as a recreational camping spot by Päijänne, reachable on foot from parking in a couple of hundred metres, with car access to within roughly 250 m, and lists Kiviönniementie 382 in Korpilahti coordinates that match this shore pocket. In order from the parking area, you quickly reach the cooking shelter and the two lean-tos, with a campfire site and a dry toilet grouped in the same small clearing. It is an easy outing for a picnic, an evening fire, or a swim when ice is out; combine the stops in whatever order suits your group. Nuotiopaikat.fi lists Kiviönniementie 374 for the laavu listing and links coordinates that sit beside the same neck of land. Longer hiking in the area often means Haukankierros, which starts from Korpilahti harbour and can follow red trail markings toward Kiviönniemi; from the peninsula you can return the same way (about 1.5 km back along that branch) or continue toward Korpilahti on green-marked alternatives, as Korpilahti.info outlines. Korpilahden Yrittäjät led volunteer work in 2018 to clear and re-mark Haukankierros after the old alignment suffered from forestry and neglect, including new signs and stream crossings, as reported in Keskisuomalainen. That network context helps explain why many visitors combine the harbour circuit with this shore pocket even though Kiviönniemi Trail itself is only a few minutes on foot.

Length & route

The trail is about 0.2 km end to end and is not a loop. Almost all of the distance is moving from Kiviönniemi pysäköintialue into the laavu–keittokatos–nuotiopaikka group along the lake. If you arrive via Haukankierros from Korpilahti harbour, the red-marked branch toward Kiviönniemi and the optional return or green-marked continuation are described as a longer circuit around the peninsula area.

Getting there

Use Kiviönniemi pysäköintialue at the trailhead; it sits a short walk from the facilities. Korpilahti.info gives Kiviönniementie 382 for car access within about 250 m of Kiviönniemen laavu and foot access of a couple of hundred metres. Nuotiopaikat.fi publishes nearby address Kiviönniementie 374 and coordinates 61.970495, 25.591524 for the same laavu listing. The site is also reachable by boat from Päijänne when conditions allow.

Good to know

Carry out litter. On city nature trails, firewood is not routinely supplied at campfire sites—bring your own small wood if you plan to use Kiviönniemi nuotiopaikka, and respect any fire warnings. Official nature trails in Jyväskylä are for walking only; keep bikes on separate forest routes. Winter maintenance is not provided on nature trails, so expect icy stretches without gritting.
