There are no marked trails within Pulju Wilderness Reserve, but there are some clearly visible old tracks, which however are unmarked.
Pulju Wilderness Reserve is known for its large mires and its numerous hills and fells. It is a perfect destination for experienced trekkers. During late summer the area's abundant cloudberry crop attracts day trip visitors to its mires. A rather large road runs through the centre of the wilderness area so it is a very convenient and easy-to-reach target for those cloudberry pickers with orienteering skills. A road and snowmobile track run through the area from the village of Nunnanen to the village of Pulju.
- Reindeer herding is a strong part of the wilderness's character
