Lake Iso-Ruuhijärvi

One of the most popular fishing destinations in Kainuu, Lake Iso-Ruuhijärvi offers outstanding opportunities for fishing and outdoor recreation. The lake is only 14 kilometres from Kajaani and offers great fishing throughout the year. 

Lake Iso-Ruuhijärvi’s area covers about 45 hectares. You can catch rainbow trout, Northern pike, perch and whitefish there. The methodical care and maintenance of the river and lake system, as well as the stocking with catch-size rainbow trout, maintain the fish stock and anglers’ interest. 

In addition to a wide range of services, the area offers accommodation to meet various needs. The Kalamiestupa cabin can accommodate about 70 people and is available to rent for events of different kinds. If needed, there is also a sauna, fish-handling room and caravan park. In the summer, you can rent a boat at the lake. There is also a ‘kota’ hut, a lean-to shelter and numerous campfire sites in the lake area.
