Canoes, rowboats, SUP boards, fatbikes and snowshoes – rent outdoor gear in Nuuksio National Park!
Come to Nuuksio National Park for paddling, SUP, or for fatbiking – you’ll find the rental equipment at Haukanpesä, at the start of several hiking routes. Nuuksio’s Haukkalampi is a small, peaceful body of water that’s great for rowing or canoeing with friends or family. The high cliffs rising from the northern end of Haukkalampi create stunning paddling scenery, and you can also climb up onto the rocks by following the path that starts from the shore.

Next to Haukanpesä you’ll also find Cafe Haukka, where you can pick up snacks, drinks and ice cream for hot summer days. Top off your national park experience with the Haukanpesä sauna, which can be booked year-round for self-service use. During summer season you can also swim in Haukkalampi.
