Description

Surmilampi Trail is a demanding, roughly 6.4 km segment of the Kinttupolut network in Liperi, North Karelia. The Municipality of Liperi describes it as technical mountain-biking and trail-running terrain: mostly narrow singletrack with rocks, roots, and steep ups and downs. For the latest closures—forestry work near Pärnävaara has affected this line and Kinttupolut / Heinälampi Trail—and rules for dogs, campfires, and winter use of ski bases, rely on the Municipality of Liperi’s Kinttupolut pages. Visit Karelia notes that the route is marked in turquoise and shares the same junction near Pieni Heinälampi, laavu as Kinttupolut / Heinälampi Trail and the start of the violet-marked Kinttupolut - Yhdysreitti toward Lykynlampi. The trail is a logical continuation of the Heinälampi pond area: after about 0.8 km you reach Pieni Heinälampi, laavu, then roughly 2 km in Heinälampi, laavu ja kotus at the larger Heinälampi ponds, and toward the far end Surmilammen laavu sits in the Surmilampi area—three lean-tos for breaks and meal stops along the line. The same corridor ties into Kinttupolut - Pesävaara Trail and the connector toward Lykynlampi; winter ski lines such as Niinivaaran lenkki and Pärnävaara-Lykynlampi yhdyslatu pass near Surmilammen laavu, so expect occasional shared tread and other users in season. Together with Jaama Trail and Kontionpolut, the Joensuu-region signposted trails reach on the order of two hundred kilometres; Yle reported the completion of the wider 65 km Kinttupolut ring network for walking, running, and mountain biking. Choose this line if you already ride or run technical forest singletrack; easier options on the same network use wider ski-base or gravel links.

Length & route

The trail is about 6.4 km as one continuous line on the map. Municipality trail sheets list the same Surmilampi Trail segment at roughly 6.5 km of GPX between Heinälampi–Pesävaara–Yhdysreitti access points, with three named rest stops along the way. Small differences in published figures reflect rounding or exact start definition.

Getting there

The Surmilampi line is reached from other marked Kinttupolut routes: Heinälampi Trail, Kinttupolut - Pesävaara Trail, or Kinttupolut - Yhdysreitti, all meeting near Pieni Heinälampi, laavu. The usual motorised access to the Pärnävaara cluster is Pärnävaara Sports Centre on Urheilutie 5A, Ylämylly, with free parking, toilets, drinking water, and showers—then follow other Kinttupolut loops for a few kilometres to the lean-to junction. JOJO bus timetables serve Jyrinkylä; the Jyrinlenkki stop is on the order of 900 m from the sports centre by road.

Good to know

In October 2025 the Municipality of Liperi reported forest management work around Pärnävaara near the lit ski trail that temporarily closed Surmilampi Trail and Heinälampi Trail in the work zone—confirm on the city’s Kinttupolut page before you plan a trip. Campfires only at signed sites; dogs on leash on Kinttupolut routes.
