First view of the Iso-Melkutin lake, coming from the trailhead. A lovely place by the waterside.

Starting point for quite a few different routes along the Ilvesreitti, the loops around the lake are between seven and nine kilometers from here. It depends if you explore all the peninsulas.

The lake is very clean and crystal clear, so the visibility underwater is excellent.
