The trail is easy to walk. The terrain consists of flat pine heath forest, and duckboards cover the wetland sections. The Mäntyjärvi circular trail shares the first one kilometre with the Iso-Valkeinen trail, up to the Mäntyjärvi lean-to shelter. At the northern tip of Lake Mäntyjärvi, a connecting trail leads to Hiidenportti National Park. The trail includes a recreational fishing area and various hiking structures.
