Description

This segment is a short marked connection in the Elävisluoto day-hiking network south of Yppäri in Pyhäjoki, North Ostrobothnia. It links Pylhy and Lehtikarinranta along the bay shore so you can walk between the beaches, the lean-to, and swimming spots in one outing. The City of Pyhäjoki lists the wider Elävisluodon network and links to maps and digital views from its hiking hub. Pohjolan Rengastie describes the main Elävisluodon loop with an extra Ojansuunlahti round of about 1.7 km on orange markings starting from Yppärin koulu; this supplement matches that bay-side add-on in spirit and sits with the same orange-marked family of paths. The printable hiking route maps spell out how the optional Ojansuunlahti section behaves on the ground, including wetter tread in the marked bay fringe. On our map the route is about 1.8 km point to point. Very near the start you pass Pylhyn laavu, tulipaikka, käymälä—firewood, a campfire place, and dry toilets—then Pylhyn uimapaikka on Elävisluodontie. About half a kilometre along the line you reach Lehtikarin uimaranta on Pölläntie, a second shallow beach pocket. Together these stops make an easy family outing: swim at one beach, picnic at the laavu, and stroll to the other beach without driving between them. The municipality’s swimming beaches page notes that Pylhy and Pöllä sit just south of the rocky Elävisluoto surf area and describe the Pylhy shore as a shallow sandy beach suited to children. That matches how the two swimming stops feel along this walk. Tie the outing into the longer Elävisluodon Trail loop when you want a full day: the main circuit visits harbours, school fields, and more shoreline while reusing the same orange marking system. Elävisluodon Trail is the wider loop name in English materials; the Finnish page title uses Elävisluodon reitti for the same hike. Pyhäjoki is the home municipality; Pohjois-Pohjanmaa is the Finnish region name alongside North Ostrobothnia in English.

Length & route

The trail is about 1.8 km point to point on our map along the bay fringe between Pylhy and Lehtikarinranta. Municipal materials describe the related Ojansuunlahti round as about 1.7 km added to the main Elävisluodon loop. Use the printable hiking route maps to see how this spur sits inside the 12 km network listing on the City of Pyhäjoki index.

Getting there

Pylhyn uimapaikka sits at Elävisluodontie 172 and Lehtikarin uimaranta at Pölläntie 113 in the addresses carried on our place records. The wider network is described as starting from Yppärin koulu on orange markings; this supplement branches along the same marked system toward the two beaches. The printable hiking route maps show road crossings such as Kokkolantie on the main loop—check there if you combine with the full circuit. The City of Pyhäjoki trail hub links Outdoor Active views for the named Elävisluodon package.

Good to know

After rain or snowmelt, expect softer, wetter ground on the marked Ojansuunlahti fringe; the printable map calls that section more demanding than the easy main loop. No separate trail fee is listed on the municipal pages. Respect private yards and driveways near beach accesses.
