Kolima is a rather large lake in central Finland. It is an open lake with few islands and some ranges of rocks. Almost half of the lake is protected in Natura 2000 -program because of the lake´s good natural and hydrological condition. Typical fish in the lake is vendace. The lake is suitable for canoeing and there are maps available for water tourists. One route starts from Pihtipudas and goes southward to the Kärnänkoski rapids.
