Luontoon.fi – Evo MTB 67 km+
Description
Plan this ride using the Evo MTB long corridor page on Luontoon.fi together with Metsähallitus visitor map material that groups Evo riding into three colour-coded options, including the roughly 67 km intermediate corridor that pairs with the shorter yellow and red networks. Visit Häme summarises the wider destination, notes Metsähallitus Luontopalvelut as the manager, and gives Ruuhijärventie 3 in Hämeenlinna as a practical service address for the area.
The trail is about 63.9 km as one point-to-point line. It is not a loop. Metsähallitus print rounding for the long corridor is a little longer than our GPX trace; use 63.9 km for GPS-based planning. Hämeenlinna and Kanta-Häme situate Evo in southern Finland’s lake and esker forests.
From the Onninmaja end you soon have Onninmaja parkkialue, then Onninmaja vuokratupa with Onninmaja sauna, Onnin majan kaivo, Onninmajan laituri, and Onninmaja tulentekopaikka—good services if you start or finish by the water. Onkimaankangas nuotiokehä adds a campfire ring within the first couple of kilometres. After RUUHIJÄRVI kokouskämppä and LATVATUPA eräkämppä, the Niemisjärvi shoreline band packs laavut, jetties, and NIEMISTUPA eräkämppä into a compact lakeshore stage. Vähä-Koukkujärvi laavu/nuotiokehä, Lastenlammen pysäköintialue, and Vähä-Koukkujärvi vanha pysäköintialue sit in the same lake corner; Kalliojärvi tulentekopaikka and SYVÄJÄRVI kämppä follow as the line climbs toward rougher shore terrain.
About 35 km in, Evon retkeilyalueen Ruuhijärventien info ja p-alue is a natural resupply and parking pivot before Evon frisbeegolfrata, Metsäopiston liikuntasali, and Kivelän ranta. Evon leirialue Uittaja and Evon leirialue Hiilestäjä carry the big campsite infrastructure with cooking shelters and fireplaces. South of there, Evon retkeilyalueen Syrjänalusen p-alue leads into Syrjänalusen laavu and Syrjänalunen nuotiokehä by the shore—useful if you are comparing a walking option on Syrjänalusen lenkki with this bike corridor.
Further east, Evon retkeilyalueen Keltaojan p-alue and Evon retkeilyalueen Rahtijärven p-alue bracket forest road links toward Keltaojan laavu. Near 52 km the Sorsakolu laavu cluster meets Hämeen Ilvesreitti and Vaarinkorpi laavu/tulipaikka; Hakovuoren lenkki shares the same shelter corner if you later add a walking loop. Valkea-Mustajärven laavu, Valkea Mustajärvi telttailualue, and linked fireplaces prepare you for the last lakes before Evon leirialue Kulottaja, Evon leirialueen Jeon nuotiokatos, and the Käenpesä-side jetties at the northern camp shore.
Lomavinkit.fi’s Evo overview contrasts the yellow east-side ride with the west-side red line and describes how beaver dams can soften or flood stretches between seasons—worth reading before you choose tyres and spare time. Vuoreksenveto’s Evo journal adds ground-level notes on roots, stones, worn duckboards beside lakes, and junctions where dashed lines on paper can ride like forest roads in the forest. Pasin retkeilyblogi walks through packing for an overnight bike trip from Kuohijärvi toward Niemisjärvi, Valkea-Mustajärvi, and Sorsakolu, including how a beaver dam once swallowed duckboards on the walking trace—context that still matters when you judge water crossings after wet weather. Stay on the marked MTB corridor wherever conservation zoning demands it.
Length & route
About 63.9 km point to point on our GPX. Metsähallitus brochure material rounds the long Evo MTB corridor to roughly 67 km and labels it intermediate, alongside about 17 km easy and about 39 km intermediate options on the colour network.
Getting there
Metsähallitus lists Evo car parks and trailhead spacing on the hiking area Arriving by car page on Luontoon.fi. On this trace, staging at Onninmaja parkkialue matches the southern lake end, Evon retkeilyalueen Ruuhijärventien info ja p-alue suits the mid-route forest-school corner, Evon retkeilyalueen Syrjänalusen p-alue and Evon retkeilyalueen Keltaojan p-alue add west-side access, and Evon retkeilyalueen Rahtijärven p-alue supports the Rahtijärvi road approach. Visit Häme repeats Ruuhijärventie 3 as a hub address and notes drives of roughly one to two hours from the largest southern cities. Confirm bus timetables from Hämeenlinna on regional pages before you travel.
Good to know
Open fires only at marked structures; follow Metsähallitus firewood guidance and regional wildfire warnings. Beaver activity can flood or block shore traces—carry offline maps and check local notices if unsure. Mobile signal is uneven—preload maps and share your plan. No trail lighting for night riding.
Itinerary
Day 1: Ride about 35 km to Evon retkeilyalueen Ruuhijärventien info ja p-alue, using LATVATUPA eräkämppä, Niemisjärvi laavut, or Vähä-Koukkujärvi laavu/nuotiokehä for breaks. Day 2: Continue roughly 29 km past Sorsakolu laavu and Valkea-Mustajärven laavu to the Evon leirialue Käenpesä jetties and cooking shelters. Adjust daily distances to fitness; strong riders may finish in one long day, but water crossings after rain and photo stops add time.
Where to rent bikes
Full-suspension e-mountain bikes are available from Ahveniston Toimintapuisto in central Hämeenlinna, with short online bookings and longer hires arranged directly—useful staging before driving out to Evo.
Treat either trailhead parking as the start; ride the marked long corridor in either direction and reconcile junctions with the downloadable Metsähallitus visitor map.

Est. Time
Mix of forest roads, cart tracks, and forest paths with roots, stone, lake-shore duckboards, and occasional narrow-feeling singletrack after rain.
