These sites are strategically positioned along major trails like the Haukkankierros and Korpinkierros, often overlooking lakes such as Mustalampi and Kattilajärvi. While open firepits are restricted during forest fire warnings, roofed shelters generally allow for cooking year-round, providing essential infrastructure for hikers across the park's rugged terrain.
