Description

The trail is about 0.7 km and runs as a short summer link through Metsähallitus-managed Inari hiking country between Kortejärvi recreation parking and the Juutuajoki rapids at Jäniskoski. For closures, services, and season information across the wider trail network, start with the Inari Hiking Area pages on Luontoon.fi. Matkalla Suomessa highlights the Juutuan polku–Jäniskoski suspension bridge corridor among easy day options around Inarijärvi, which sits in the same river valley system as this segment. Inari lies on the shores of Inarijärvi in northern Lapland. From the Inari retkeilyalue Kortejärvi p-alue parking, the route heads southeast toward the Juutuajoki. About halfway, you pass Juutuajoki Akselin laavu puolilaavu, a half lean-to above the river, with Juutuajoki Akselin laavu kuivakäymälä nearby. Nearer Jäniskoski you reach Juutuajoki Jäniskoski polttopuusuoja-Käymälä (a firewood shelter and toilet building), Jäniskoski Puolilaavu beside the rapids, and finally Jäniskoski pysäköintialue if you approach or finish from that side. Dry toilets are available at the lean-to cluster; firewood for the shelters is stored in the riverbank maintenance building. The line is a point-to-point connector: you can walk it as a quick outing from Kortejärvi or use it to move between parking at Kortejärvi and the Jäniskoski facilities shared with Juutuan polku and the longer Inari–Riutula–Otsamotunturi–Rovajärvi kesäpolku. Juutua Small Hiking Trail and the ski track Latu Inari–Otsamo–Riutula use the same recreation fabric nearby. Terrain is typical lakeshore forest and riverbank: narrow footpath, roots, and short ups and downs rather than a wide promenade. Allow time to watch the rapids and, if you extend the day, combine with Sámi Museum and Nature Center Siida or other marked routes that start from Inari village.

Length & route

The trail is about 0.7 km end to end as one line on the map. It is not a loop: it links the Kortejärvi recreation parking side with the Jäniskoski river facilities. Metsähallitus publishes the Inari hiking trails map booklet with the village-area network, which helps relate this segment to Juutuan polku and other marked summer routes.

Getting there

The natural start is Inari retkeilyalue Kortejärvi p-alue beside Kortelampi, with vehicle access described on the Kortejärvi parking service page. You can also work from Jäniskoski pysäköintialue at the downstream end and walk the segment in reverse. Luontokeskus Siida in Inari village is the usual place to confirm parking rules and any temporary restrictions before you drive out.

Good to know

The route name marks it as a kesäpolku (summer trail): expect winter routing and grooming to follow other local trail tables rather than this short line. Everyman's rights apply in the hiking area; follow local fire instructions and Siida’s bulletins during drought or restrictions. No trail fee is stated for public hiking access.
