Fishing and canoeing
Fishing
Fishing can be pursued in the most significant water areas of Joroinen, which are Joroisselkä-Haapaselkä, Sysmä, Syvänsi and part of Sorsavesi. The waters of the area are managed with continuous stocking and other management measures. Fish stocked annually include, among others, pikeperch, whitefish, lake trout and grayling. The likelihood of a catch in the area is high thanks to the stocking and the good fish stock.
Canoeing
From Joroisselkä via Joroisvirta and Huutokoski to Sikalanselkä on Sysmäjärvi runs a natural canoeing route of about 20 kilometres, suitable for independent canoeing. When the water level is high, the trip can be continued via Suihkolanjoki to Syvänsi in Jäppilä. You can view the exact canoeing route on the route’s LIPAS pages.
