City of Haapajärvi – Kumpujen luontopolku+
Description
For the marked Kumpujen luontopolku loop, terrain, spur trails, links toward Isosaari and the bird tower route, and practical access from both Tiitonranta and Siiponkosken Jokikeskus, see the City of Haapajärvi's trail page. Visit Haapajärvi describes Siiponkosken Jokikeskus as the river hub for suspension bridges, an observation tower, campfire sites, easy nature paths, and canoe trips around Isosaari, with rentals and services reachable by phone.
On our map this hike is about 4.4 km along the Kalajoki and Isosaari area in Haapajärvi, North Ostrobothnia. It is not a closed loop on the line we show. Early on you pass Siiponkoski, where the Kalajoki scenery opens around a former mill site, then Myllynketo, a wilderness hut stop along the island ridge. About 2.2 km from the start you reach Siiponkoski Kota for shelter and a longer break. Toward the northern end of the line the route gathers Siiponkosken uimaranta, Siiponkosken Sauna, and Siiponkosken Savusauna beside Siiponkoskentie, and finishes near Siiponkosken Jokikeskus and its boat launch — a convenient place to plan river time or combine with other village routes.
The same landscape ties into the short walking route Kumpujen reitti and to the paddling line Muinais-Päijänteen reitti for anyone building a longer outdoor day from the same river corridor. Maintenance questions for the marked path network are handled by Siiponkosken kyläyhdistys at the number the city publishes. Read more about firewood, sauna bookings, and beach practicalities on our pages for Siiponkoski Kota, Siiponkosken Sauna, and Siiponkosken uimaranta.
Length & route
The trail is about 4.4 km on our map through the Siiponkoski and Isosaari stretch of the Kalajoki in Haapajärvi. The City of Haapajärvi describes the signposted Kumpujen luontopolku itself as a roughly 1.9 km circular path that can be walked in either direction, mostly on uneven pine and mixed forest with moss-covered stones and low relief. From Myllynkedon kota the same source lists a 0.3 km Silmukkapolku spur with a short board bridge and a 0.9 km Rantapolku along the riverbank for part of its length on a light-traffic route. Walkers can link from Isosaari to a reed-based bird tower route past a footbridge on the north side of the island. The city's hiking index groups Kumpujen polku with other Siiponkoski village trails.
Getting there
From Tiitonranta, the City of Haapajärvi directs drivers from the centre along Tiitonrantantie about 4.3 km, then right on the light-traffic path for about 400 m to Myllynkedon kota; the marked trail begins beside the suspension bridge with posted directions. For the Siiponkoski side, drive about 4 km from the centre toward Nivala, turn left from highway toward Siiponkoskentie, continue about 100 m, turn left to Siiponkosken Jokikeskus (former village school), cross the bridge, follow the cross-island path about 200 m to the second suspension bridge, and continue straight onto the Kumpujen path system. Visit Haapajärvi lists the Jokikeskus address as Siiponkoskentie 220, 85800 Haapajärvi.
