Description

This route is a short approach on Lake Oulujärvi along the marked fairway into Teeriniemi guest harbour on Manamansalo, Vaala. It is about 1.3 km as mapped—enough for a calm paddle from open water toward the marina basin, guest docks, and launch facilities at the Teeriniemi end. Metsähallitus covers paddling in the Oulujärvi Recreation Area on Luontoon.fi, including etiquette and planning context for the wider lake. The Municipality of Vaala describes Manamansalo as the hub of the recreation area, with marked summer trails, services at the campground, and landing places on several islands. Visit Vaala points paddlers to Oulujärven Melontakeskus at Sahanranta for tuition, club trips, and rack storage, and notes kayak landing stages elsewhere on the lake. Vaala’s harbour register lists Teeriniemi as a guest harbour on Manamansalo with the campground, café, and recreation area—matching what you find at the water’s edge here. Along the line you pass Teeriniemen vieraslaituri and Teeriniemi satama laituri; Teeriniemi veneenlaskuluiska offers a slip for getting craft in and out. Parking for a day visit is available at Manamansalon P-alue and Manamansalonn parkkipaikka near the shore cluster. The shore also meets Oulujärven retkeilyalueen retkeilyreitti, Manamansalon polkupyöräreitti, and Teeriniemen ladut, so you can combine paddling with walking, cycling, or winter skiing by arrangement and season. Treat the crossing as inland-lake paddling: check wind on Oulujärvi’s wide selkä waters, wear a life jacket, and carry spare clothes. Respect the guest harbour and private shore zones when landing. See map and distance on huts.fi.

Length & route

The route is about 1.3 km along the harbour approach on one mapped leg; many paddlers return along the same line for an out-and-back of roughly 2–3 km total. There are no rapids or portages on this segment.

Getting there

Reach Manamansalo by road or the Alassalmi cable ferry as usual for the island. For Teeriniemi, follow local road signing toward Manamansalon leirintäalue; guest harbour and ramp are at the Teeriniemi shore. Leave a car at Manamansalon P-alue or Manamansalonn parkkipaikka when spaces are available, then carry boats to Teeriniemi veneenlaskuluiska or use the guest docks if your craft suits them. If you need rental boats or coaching, Oulujärven Melontakeskus at Vaala Sahanranta (Uitontie) is the regional base described by Visit Vaala—not at Teeriniemi itself.

Good to know

Fishing from a kayak on Oulujärvi may require the national fisheries management fee and area-specific permits depending on method and zone; check Eräluvat before fishing from the water. In strong wind or thunder, wait for calmer conditions on open selkä sections.

Where to rent kayaks

Oulujärven Melontakeskus at Vaala Sahanranta (end of Uitontie) offers coaching, club-organised trips, rack storage for private kayaks in the converted kanoottitalli, and a launch slip—run by Oulujärven Melojat ry. It is the main rental-and-services hub for the lake rather than a beach kiosk at Teeriniemi.
