Liesjärvi National Park is a versatile outdoor recreation destination. History comes to life right before the visitors’ eyes at Korteniemi Heritage Farm, where guests can try their hand at farm chores. Visitors can also hike through the fairytale-like Ahonnokka old growth forest and over the grand Kyynäränharju Ridge, which cuts through lake scenery. Liesjärvi National Park is a good day trip destination.

Liesjärvi National Park is located in the Häme Lake Uplands. This area is a rugged backwoods surrounded by fertile fields. Shores and beaches dominate the scenery. They encircle four adjoined lakes and a couple mire ponds. Even though the park is small in area there are almost 50 km of forested shore-line. Adding to this already varied terrain are Kyynäränharju, a sandy shored ridge which separates Lakes Liesjärvi and Kyynäräjärvi, and around 40 islands and islets.
