Located on the southern expanse of Lake Konnevesi, Iso Pyysalo is best known for its beautiful, long sandy beach. The shore deepens gradually, making it ideal for swimming and relaxing by the water. On warm summer days, Iso Pyysalo becomes a serene haven for visitors exploring the lake by boat or kayak – a place where the gentle waves and endless lake views create a sense of timeless calm.

On the island’s western tip, a cabin perched on the rocks is believed to be one of the oldest on Konnevesi. In total, there are four privately owned cottages on the island, yet the landscape has retained its natural, peaceful character. The balance between quiet habitation and untouched nature gives the island its special charm.

Iso Pyysalo is also equipped for visitors: a lean-to shelter, campfire site and dry toilet offer simple but comfortable facilities for resting or spending the night outdoors. The beach’s easy accessibility makes it a popular stop for paddlers and boaters seeking a quiet break amid the open lake scenery.

Iso Pyysalo embodies the essence of the Konnevesi archipelago – a place where water, wind and sand create the perfect harmony of Finnish summer nature.
