Description

For an overview of Kannonkoski’s beaches, lean-tos, and how the outdoor network hangs together, Visit Kannonkoski’s Luontokohteet hub is the right first stop. The City of Kannonkoski’s Isohiekka laavu ja kota page explains how the Keski-Suomen maakuntaura reaches the Isohiekka parking at the nature-reserve edge, with duckboards across mixed forest down to a long sand shore—helpful context when you pair Isohiekka’s shelters with the Kismanniemi strip on Lake Kivijärvi. Kismanniemi sits on a small Lake Kivijärvi bay in Kannonkoski, Central Finland. The trail is about 0.1 km as a short, tree-lined connector between the lean-tos and cooking shelter at the water’s edge and Kismaniemi pysäköintialue. Kismanniemi laavu Kivijärvi and Isonhiekan laavu give quick cover for a swim or snack, Kismanniemi keittokatos Kivijärvi adds a roofed cooking spot, and Kismanniemi polttopuusuoja-kuivakäymälä combines sheltered firewood storage with a dry toilet so an hour at the cape still feels well serviced. This segment is not an all-day hike by itself: it plugs straight into Töyrilampi retkeilypolku and the Maakuntaura - Kannonkoski section for longer days toward Töyrilampi laavu, Koiralammen kota, and Piispala, and Töyrilampi pyöräpolku shares the same shelter cluster for cyclists. Jalkaisin’s write-up of walking the Piispala–Kismanniemi leg of Keski-Suomen maakuntaura notes blue paint blazes along the regional path and describes arriving at the Kismanniemi sand cap after passing Metsähallitus-branded welcome material at the Isohiekka end—worth reading for terrain texture, berry-season brush, and a frank 2013 snapshot of how busy the lean-tos can get. Treat firewood, litter, and swimming safety as you would at any popular lake shore: pack out what you pack in, and refresh rules from the municipality’s pages before you go.

Length & route

The trail is about 0.1 km end to end, mostly a forest-floor path between Kismanniemi laavu Kivijärvi, Isonhiekan laavu, Kismanniemi keittokatos Kivijärvi, and the combined firewood shelter and dry toilet, finishing near Kismaniemi pysäköintialue. The same place cluster sits on Töyrilampi retkeilypolku (about 12.9 km), Töyrilampi pyöräpolku (about 3 km), and the Maakuntaura - Kannonkoski section (about 41.7 km), so this segment functions as the Lake Kivijärvi services spur for those longer routes.

Getting there

Most visitors drive to Kismaniemi pysäköintialue (about 63.0689°N, 25.2652°E) at the end of the forest-road spur, then walk the few minutes along the short marked spur past the lean-tos to the lake. Visit Kannonkoski gathers access guidance for the municipality’s nature sites in one place. If you combine the outing with Isohiekka, the City of Kannonkoski notes that the road and Keski-Suomen maakuntaura reach the Isohiekka parking at the conservation boundary with duckboards onward to the beach.

Good to know

Dedicated site:youtube.com searches did not surface a clip that clearly showcases this specific 0.1 km spur rather than generic regional footage; nearby longer routes are better documented on video. Conditions at lean-tos and firewood stocks change with use—double-check Visit Kannonkoski or the City of Kannonkoski pages before relying on an overnight plan built around this spur alone.
