Lean -to on the island. No summer maintenance.

The lean -to moved to a new location 2021. The Refreshing Siikajoki project.

The lean -to is along the swan route.

For lean-tos, Pallomänty natural monument, the forest playground beside Kärkiniemi shore trail, and how the walk sits in the municipality’s nature recreation offering, start with Siikajoki municipality’s nature recreation pages(1). Parking, the sports park address, Runoilijan polku along the Siikajoki river, and the wider 3 km fitness track or ski trail loop at Kärkiniemi are described on the Kärkiniemi sports park pages(2). Visit Raahe’s Siikajoki destination introduction helps situate the municipality among river-and-sea outdoor destinations in the Raahe region(3). Sahanseutu shore trail is about 1.7 km on our map as a riverside walk along the Siikajoki river in Ruukki, North Ostrobothnia. From the Kärkiniemi sports park cluster you quickly reach riverside vegetation, Kärkiniemen Laavu 2, then Sahanseudun parkkipaikka and a short stretch onward to Kärkiniemen laavu. Further along the shore, Sahanseudun pysäköintialue and Sahanseudun Veneluiska give a hand‑launch option for small boats and canoes; Sahanseudun grillipaika near the far end is a natural break spot. The route is a good add-on after tennis or track training because Kärkiniemen kaukalo, Kärkiniemen tenniskenttä, and Kärkiniemen urheilukenttä sit steps from the same Kärkiniementie 11 access(2). The same riverbank connects to Pallomännyn polku at shared shelters and parking, so you can extend with a very short walking loop around Pallomänty. In winter, Kärkiniemen latu uses overlapping facilities and passes the boat launch, grill, and lean-tos from its own groomed line. Long-distance cyclists on Kylien helminauha pass the Sahanseudun grillipaika as part of the wider village network. Read more on our pages for Kärkiniemen laavu, Kärkiniemen Laavu 2, and Sahanseudun grillipaika for day-trip details.

Hangasneva is a restored peatland in Paavola, Siikajoki, North Ostrobothnia, where a compact hiking circuit runs about 4.2 km through wetland, forest, and watery channels. The City of Siikajoki describes the Hangasnevan retkeilyreitti as year-round: walking or mountain biking in the snow-free season, and skiing near the route in winter on the local trail network(1). Early in the circuit you pass Hangasnevan lintutorni; roughly halfway, Hangasnevan laavu and Hangasnevan laavun lintutorni sit close together for a break with views over the mire(1). Taipaleita’s on-the-ground account adds detail on blue paint marks and blue-topped posts, benches and boardwalks, and how long a leisurely circuit can take(2). Siikajokilaakso reported how Paavola residents designed and built the path and structures as volunteer work, with boardwalks sized so mountain bikers can pass, and how birdwatchers have recorded more than thirty species on the mire(3). Along the way you can expect roughly four hundred metres of duckboards, rest benches placed at viewpoints, three bird towers, a lean-to with a campfire place and dry toilet, and stretches between reed beds, birch-lined cuts along ditch banks, and open peatland(1)(2)(3). The City of Siikajoki warns that deep ditches, springs, and soft peat lie off the marked route—stay on the marked trail, and treat any ice travel as entirely your own risk(1). In winter, groomed ski tracks include Hangasnevan pisto latu, which shares the bird-tower area with this hike and continues past Oravamaan laavu on a longer ski loop(1).

This path basically follows the Siikajokivartta/ Siikajoki river.

A small outdoor grill on the hiking trail. No firewood.

Picnic tables and a fire pit by the river and next to the road, in a beautiful location.
