The {{convert|270|km2|abbr=on}} area of [[Oulanka National Park]] is shared between northern Kuusamo and neighboring [[Salla]] municipality. The landscape is dominated by pine forests, Oulankajoki river and its side branches with their sandbanks and rapids, and in the northern part vast marsh areas. In the wilderness live 30 species of mammals and 120 species of birds, including brown, stone and [[white-tailed eagle]]. [[Eurasian wolf|Wolves]] and [[Eurasian lynx|lynxes]] are rare.<ref>[http://www.luontoon.fi/page.asp?Section=5145&Item=7102 Animals in Oulanka] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110605012729/http://www.luontoon.fi/page.asp?Section=5145&Item=7102 |date=2011-06-05 }} (finnische Forstbehörde, engl.)</ref> Rapids in Oulankajoki include Kiutaköngäs, Taivalköngäs, Jyrävä, Niskakoski, and Myllykoski.
