Description
For trail conditions, maps, and the wider route menu at Kylmäluoma, start with Luontoon.fi. Visit Taivalkoski rounds out visitor services, lodging, and fishing permit basics for Iso Pajuluoma.
Taivalkoski lies in North Ostrobothnia, and this walk is part of the Kylmäluoma recreation area around Iso Pajuluoma lake. It is only about 100 metres long and works as a short lakeshore link: you can use it to move between the marked shore route and the jetties and resting spots clustered along Iso Pajuluoma without backtracking along the road. In practice it connects into Kylmäluoma rantapolku, the roughly 2.5 km lakeshore circuit, and sits right beside Iso Pajuluoma rantapolku 15, one of the small boat access points along the shore.
Around the link you are inside the heart of the visitor hub. From the path you are a short step from Kylmäluoma Campsite, Kylmäluoman retkeilykeskuksen frisbeegolfrata on Pajuluomantie 20, Iso-Pajuluoma, uimalaituri, Iso-Pajukuma invalaituri, Iso pajuluoma rantapolku 18, Iso-Pajuluoma, itäpuoli, tulipaikka, Kylmäluoman leirintäalueen kota, and Kylmäluoman leirintäalue, Sarvi, laituri. If you want a longer nature walk from the same trailhead area, Luontopolku Puuska is a separate marked loop nearby.
The wider Kylmäluoma trail network was heavily damaged by storm Paula in 2021; Metsähallitus reopened several routes afterward with new alignments, leaving windthrown trees in place where possible on the protected ground. On the ground, day visitors often follow white paint blazes and rust-toned direction posts on the rebuilt loops. That network context matters if you are stringing this short link together with Hukanharjun hurrikaani, Paulan puhuri, Myrskyn jälkeen, or the lakeshore ring.
