The sun is warming our faces and birds are singing louder – it can only mean one thing: Lake Saimaa is waking up from its winter slumber, and the boating season is just around the corner!
The once-covering ice is now a memory, and soon the waves will be calling both boaters and paddlers. In the marinas, boats are gradually shedding their winter covers, engines are taking their first breaths, and polished surfaces gleam in the spring sun. It’s time to check ropes, service equipment, and plan the first trips of the summer on Saimaa’s unique waters.
Paddlers’ hearts are also starting to beat faster. The first spring paddling trips on the crystal-clear, still slightly cool waters are something truly special. Nature awakens all around, the air is fresh, and every paddle stroke feels like a new beginning. Whether you’re an experienced paddler or just starting out, Saimaa’s intricate routes, sheltered bays, and open waters offer unforgettable experiences.
Soon you can once again enjoy the enchanting beauty of Saimaa from a whole new perspective. The wind in your hair, the sun glittering on the waves, and the peace of the surrounding nature – this is what the boating and paddling season on Saimaa is all about at its best.
So, get ready to hit the water soon! Saimaa is waiting for you to awaken from your winter sleep!
