Description of the outdoor recreation area
Vaakkoi is a wilderness-like forest area dotted by several ponds and cliffs. Vaakkoi is an ideal option for an independent hiker with outdoor skills. There is a bottom of an old tar pit a few hundred metres from the parking area.
There are no services in the Vaakkoi outdoor recreation area supporting outdoor activities. The closest services can be found in the Luukkaa outdoor recreation area, approximately 5 km away.
The outdoor recreation area’s information board is along Vihdintie, a sign guiding to the bottom of the old tar pit.
It is forbidden to make a fire in the area.
Members of Helsingin Latu association have access to the Vaakkoi wilderness hut.

There is a lean-to for six people on Kämmenlampi that is free to use. Toilets can be found along the Vihdintie road and on the Saarijärvi beach.

Recreational fishing is permitted in the area’s ponds: Vaakkoi, Saaren Musta, Iso Lehmälampi and Pikku Lehmälampi.
