A diverse recreational area for nature enthusiasts

Rantakylä Recreational Area – one of the most versatile recreation and sports areas in Finland – can be found just four kilometres away from the centre of Liminka. The area offers many outdoor recreation and hiking options, both during summer and winter seasons.

In summer, nature lovers get to enjoy extensive cycling and hiking routes , an 18-hole disc golf course, beach volley fields and outdoor gym equipment right by the parking area. After sweating it out on the fitness stairs, you can cool off by taking a dip in the water: wade in from the beach, dive in from the jetty or jump in from the diving tower. In summer, the area also has lifeguards, a summer kiosk and a swimming area reserved for dogs. The area surrounding Rantakylä is a great spot for berry picking, hunting or mushroom foraging.

In the winter, the walking path is turned into a cross-country skiing track with lighting. The area also features a sledding hill for the young ones in the family and an ice-swimming hole at the beach for the daredevils. The area has a barbeque hut and there are also lean-tos with firepits along the routes.
