Lake Kolima
Lake in Finland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kolima is a large lake in central Finland. It is an open lake with few islands and some ranges of rocks. Almost half of the lake is protected under the Natura 2000 program because of the lake's good natural and hydrological condition.[2] The lake is suitable for canoeing and maps are available for water tourists. One route starts from Pihtipudas and goes southward to the Kärnänkoski rapids.
