There are large, open lake expanses in the area, but the paddling routes for Veskansa have been planned to keep paddlers in areas that are as sheltered as possible. It is a good idea to reserve at least 2-3 days to get to know the area in more detail.

Equipment rental and maps are easily available. You can set out at Anttola, from which the nearest harbour (Kaijatsaari) is about 3 km away.
