jetty
Ollisaari is located in Lake Lohjanjärvi just a couple of kilometres from the city of Lohja. The rocky and windy western shore looks out to the open lake, while the sandy beach on the eastern side is sheltered and has a view of Lohja’s skyline. Thanks to the chalky soils, groves of tall alders and other deciduous trees grow on the island. Ollisaari is within easy reach by boat, canoe, kayak or paddle board, and in the winter you can also cross the ice on foot or by ice skating. While Ollisaari is ideally suited for short day trips, it also offers a great stop-off point for those exploring the lake on longer journeys.
Making a fire is permitted only at the marked campfire sites, and only when a forest or grass fire warning is not in place. When a warning is in place, no fires are permitted.
Dogs need to be kept in a leash.

Destination information
The western shore of the island is rocky and steep. Therefore it is easiest to land on the jetty or beach on the eastern side.
There is a simple campfire site next to the jetty. At the moment no firewood is brought in by Uuvi so visitors have to bring their own firewood. The buildings are currently out of use.
The currently ongoing development project will turn Ollisaari into a high quality, easily accessible year-round destination suitable for a variety of user groups. The jetty, campfire sites and dry toilets will be repaired or replaced in the near future.
Accessibility
There are currently no accessible facilities at Ollisaari. Paths are narrow, informal and sometimes steep, and they cross through forest and rocky terrain. There are steps leading up from the jetty.
Additional information
Ollisaari has long been an important outdoor destination for the people of Lohja. The Liessaari outdoor recreation area and nature trail are only a stone’s throw away and well worth exploring.
