Joutsijärvi is one of the largest lakes in Satakunta, and it can be circled on a roughly 30-kilometer circular route. You can manage to go around the lake in a day, but along the way, there are charming places to stay overnight, and for instance, the wilderness huts along the route are popular. Along the journey, you will see hikers who have come to stay overnight, exercisers who circle the route in a day, or trail runners, for example.
There are various rest stops along the route. Most are by the water, and log lean-tos and wilderness huts provide a feel for genuine wilderness nature. On the Joutsijärvi hiking trail, there are two wells whose water has been tested and found usable. The wells are tested approximately every 3 years. One of the wells is on Kulhantie near Rekitaipale, and the other is located on Kakkurintie about 500 m from the Sisälmystenlahti wilderness hut.
The nature and wildlife of Joutsijärvi with its rare birds and vegetation guarantee a memorable nature experience. The lake and its shore waters are home to, among others, osprey, honey buzzard, sparrowhawk, and hobby.
The route circles around the entire Joutsijärvi, making it suitable for hiking, for example, over one night or a weekend. On the southern side of the lake, there is also a 4.2-kilometer-long nature trail, which is especially designed for families with children and hikers who prefer easier terrain. Both routes are available year-round. The terrain of the route is mostly rocky mixed forest, partially equipped with atmospheric boardwalks. Part of the route is also illuminated. Between Joutsijärvi and Tuurujärvi there is a bridge, a ferry, and a boat ferry that separate the lakes. Along the route, there are plenty of rest spots such as wilderness huts, fire pits, a well, and a beach. If you start from the Tammen camp center and circle the whole route, it is recommended to go clockwise around the lake.
