The campfire sites are on the bank of Lake Pesujärv. It is a popular swimming place. There is a boardwalk leading to the lakeside and a convenient pier for taking a dip. The Jõuga lake system comprises four lakes that emerged as a result of the melting of loose ice: Lake Jõuga Pesujärv, Lake Jõuga Linajärv, Lake Jõuga Liivjärv and Lake Armise. Several rare plant and animal species can be found in the lakes, e.g. the common water frog.

Wheelchair Accessibility
From the parking lot, a 1.2 m wide boardwalk leads down to the beach, right out to the floating bridge. There is a small pocket halfway through. Since the boardwalk is quite steep due to the natural conditions, we recommend visiting it with a help. You can reach the two picnic tables from the parking lot along a boardwalk, but a natural path leads to the dry toilet.
