Description

Children's nature trail, Sysilampi is a short, family-oriented marked hiking trail of about 1.1 km in Salamajärvi National Park. The trail sits in Perho, with the national park also extending into neighbouring municipalities in Central Ostrobothnia and farther south. For reserve rules, season notes, and the full list of official trails, Metsähallitus publishes Salamajärvi on Luontoon.fi. Visit Jyväskylä Region’s park overview highlights a 1.5 km children’s loop among Salamajärvi’s ring routes and points travellers toward the same Luontoon.fi detail pages for services. Retkipaikka’s Salamajärvi guide lists Lasten luontopolku among the easy nature walks that start from the Sysilampi yard beside Sysilampi autiotupa and names Pakosuon kierros as the neighbouring interpretive mire loop from the same hub. On the ground you quickly reach Sysilammen ranta: Sysilampi laituri Salamajärvi sits by the water, Sysilampi sauna Salamajärvi and Sysilampi vuokratupa suit parties who want a sauna or a booked cabin night, and Sysilampi autiotupa offers a simple open wilderness hut. Two official campfire places, Sysilampi tulentekopaikka Salamajärvi and Sysilampi tulentekopaikka 2 Salamajärvi, bracket the shore together with Sysilampi porakaivo for water. These stops cluster within the last few hundred metres of the mapped route, so the walk works well as a gentle outing before a swim, sauna, or packed lunch. The same Sysilampi junction also carries Peuran polku runkoreitti E6, Hirvaan kierros, and Pakosuon kierros luontopolku if your group outgrows the short line and wants duckboards, longer rings, or a backbone connection across the Peura trail network. Surfaces stay mostly easy forest path suited to small legs; carry a wind layer because even short bog-edge sections are open enough to catch a breeze. Independent listings for Sysilampi often mention free parking within walking distance of the huts—combine that with Metsähallitus safety and campfire guidance on Luontoon.fi before you light a fire.

Length & route

The trail is about 1.1 km on our map as one short family line into Sysilampi. Broader visitor text often rounds the same walk to roughly 1.5 km and sometimes describes it as a small ring around Hepolammi-style shoreline scenery; measuring endpoints differ, so treat our 1.1 km figure as the published geometry and expect only small extra steps if you wander between shoreline stops. Terrain is easy hiking with limited elevation change.

Getting there

Most families drive to Salamajärvi. Sysilampi pysäköintialue is the usual motor access point for Sysilampi rentals and campfire cluster; listings describe an on-foot segment of a few hundred metres from the car park to the huts and shore. Retkipaikka summarises that public transport reaches only nearby villages, after which you finish by bicycle, taxi, or park shuttle seasons when they run. Koirasalmi nature information hut remains the park’s main advice and rental desk for longer stays, even when your walk starts at Sysilampi.

Good to know

Salamajärvi is a national park: stay on marked trails, follow Metsähallitus campfire and pets guidance from Luontoon.fi, and give forest reindeer space. Sauna, cabin, and rental pricing are linked from the same official pages.
