About Ivalojoki
Ivalojoki is a river. Location: Lapland Region, Finland.
Ivalojoki (Northern Sami: Avviljohka, Inari Sami: Avveeljuuhâ) is a 180-kilometre-long (110 mi) river in Finland that flows through upper Lapland into Lake Inari. Ivalojoki starts from the Korsatunturi hugging the border between the communities of Inari and Enontekiö, where two side streams are meeting. The first streams branching off of it can be found on the bogs of Peltotunturi on the border between Finland and Norway along the western border of the Lemmenjoki National Park.
