Byabäcken is a tributary stream to Sipoo river. A section of it was declared a Natura 2000 protection area by the EU already before the establishment of the park. The stream flows past forest, small hills and pastures with grazing cows and a multitude of flowers in the summer. The area has a nature trail, a well and overnighting facilities.
Lake Kuusijärvi isn't in the park, but next to it, and a notable entry point to the park across the Sipoonkorpi pedestrian bridge. The lake is a popular place for swimming both summer and winter and there's a café.
A little pond halfway between Kuusijärvi and Kalkkiruukki. Interestingly it's shape is reminiscent of Finland, but turned upside down. You can swim here, and there's a picnic area.
One of the park's cultural highlights, this is a historical limestone mine and kiln with a trail leading you around the premises and up to Högberget hill with nice views.
A swampy pond with a picnic area nearby.
Fairly easily accessible, even though it's not next to a road. Has a picnic area.
Not next to a road but the trail there as well as the toilet is disabled-friendly. Fishing in the lake requires two permits (see below), but if lucky you may catch rainbow trout that have been introduced here.
Length: 2.1 km. The trail goes around the Byabäcken stream.
