Here are pictures of a road built by a big private forestry operator between Lake Ounasjärvi and the national park for logging along the ski trail leading to the park.

Forest roads may look innocent compared to paved highways. But even those main roads have in the past been similar minor roads. And unlike highways, forest roads are made quickly and by the mile. They are built despite local opposition and with state financial support. They cut through the wilderness, bringing with them logging and lots of small and large motor vehicles.
