Lieksan Loiske

Lieksan Loiske ry is a rowing and paddling club founded in 1993 and affiliated with the Finnish Canoeing and Rowing Federation. Based in Lieksa, Finland, the club promotes canoeing and church-boat rowing on Lake Pielinen and the surrounding waterways, including the Lieksanjoki River. Its home base is a boat and canoe shed at the Lieksa harbour, providing members with access to equipment so they can get started without buying their own boats or canoes.

The club aims to make the pleasures of outdoor water activities accessible to as many people as possible and welcomes new members interested in exploring the region by water. Its activities centre on rowing, paddling and opportunities to enjoy nearby lakes and rivers. Lieksan Loiske also makes touring skates available for reservation, extending its equipment offering beyond the open-water season. Information about club activities, equipment and membership is provided through its website and other communication channels.
