City of Oulu – Maastoliikuntareitistö+

Description

New Korpilampi Loop is a short hiking segment of about 2.6 km in Oulu, North Ostrobothnia, in the Kalimeen–Isokangas recreation area east of the city. It focuses on the Korpilampi shoreline and ties into the wider marked trail network around Isokangasjärvi and Kalimeenlampi. For GPX files, overview maps, and ongoing work on the Kaakkuri–Ruskotunturi outdoor route system, start from the City of Oulu’s Maastoliikuntareitistö pages. Visit Oulu lists the broader Isokangas route in the Sangi River hiking area as forest and ridge walking a little outside the centre. Along the line you pass Korpilampi Oulu at about 1.3 km from the start—natural pause at the pond—and Korpilammen kompostikäymälä sits a few tens of metres further along the path for a composting toilet stop. Retkipaikka’s shelter guide describes Korpilammen riistapolku as roughly two kilometres of nature trail with duckboards in wet ground, interpretation boards on wildlife management around the pond, and a lean-to on the shore where firewood is stocked for the fireplace. That article also notes about 700 m on foot from the forest road to the Korpilampi lean-to when approaching from the Nuutinpalo parking direction—useful if you combine driving and walking. The same junction links to longer day hikes: you can branch onto Riistapolku, UUSI Isokankaan kierros, Isokangas Loop Trail, Isokangas-Kalimeenlampi retkeilyreitti, or Kalimeenkierros for fire pits, rental huts, and lake views across the network. Oulu lies in North Ostrobothnia; the Isokangas reserve is one of the city’s larger near-wild forest blocks for day trips.

Length & route

The trail is about 2.6 km as one continuous line. Retkipaikka rounds Korpilammen riistapolku to about two kilometres of nature trail with duckboards in wet sections. Expect forest path and boardwalk surfaces; the segment sits in the same Isokangas trail family that Visit Oulu describes as ridge and spruce forest walking in the Sangi River hiking area.

Getting there

The Kalimeen–Isokangas area lies east of Oulu between highway 8331 (Sanginjoentie) and 833 (Ylikiimingintie); drivers often use the Nuutinpalo parking on Ylikiimingintie or approach from Sanginjoentie depending on season and road conditions. Retkipaikka notes forest roads to lean-tos are not always passable by car right after heavy snow without four-wheel drive. The City of Oulu publishes a trail map image and a GPX zip for the wider Kaakkuri–Ruskotunturi maastoliikuntareitistö, which helps you align car access with the Korpilampi trails.

Good to know

Boardwalks and roots can be slippery when wet. Campfire wood at the Korpilampi lean-to is intended for the shared fireplace; supplies can run low on busy weekends. There is no separate trail fee stated for walking; follow local fire and litter rules on the reserve.
