National park shared between the municipalities Pudasjärvi, Posio and Taivalkoski. One part of the park stretches from the Syöte ski resort to the north and north-east, extending into Posio and Taivalkoski in the north. Another part lies on the border between Pudasjärvi and Taivalkoski, east of Syöte, and two more parts still more east, in Taivalkoski, north of the municipal centre. The two first mentioned are connected by hiking trails. The landscape is dominated by wooded hills and lots of small lakes.
