Lake Inari, Lapland, Finland

4.5 (103 reviews) Spent Ranking #5 in Inari Bodies of Water

A gorgeous destination in Lapland

If you're looking for a beautiful and peaceful destination for kayaking/boating/fishing in Lapland look no further. There are over 3000 islands in this huge lake and most of them are totally uninhabited. There are many free well equipped camping areas to choose from. You can sleep in the wilderness cabins but it's better to have you own tent too. The lake is also great for fishing and with some effort it is possible to eat fresh fish every night. There's also a cool ice cave on the island called "Korkia Maura". The icy floor of the cave has been frozen for over 500 years. This cave alone is a sight worth visiting. Just remember that this lake can turn it's beautiful mirror surface into a sea of rough dwelling waves in no time.

    Beautiful.
    It is difficult to put into words just how we felt to stay here albeit for a short while. The lake is simply stunning and to watch the sun go down over it is , well , quite mesmeric. There is also a river boat trip that you can take and whilst I didn't go on it myself my wife did and found it very enjoyable. The walk to the top of Ukko Island is a must. Would love to visit again one day. We are sure a visit in winter would be as equally rewarding but in an entirely different way.

    Beautiful location in Summer
    Lake Inari is beautiful with some fantastic walks in the area. The Lake cruise is also worth doing (22 euros each) but you get a wonderful view of the lake
