About Lake Jyväsjärvi
Lake Jyväsjärvi is a lake. Location: Ostrobothnia, Finland. Elevation: 78 m.
Jyväsjärvi (Finnish pronunciation: [ˈjyʋæsˌjærʋi]) is a lake situated in the centre of Jyväskylä in Finland. The lake is sometimes seen as a part of the Päijänne, as both lakes are on the same level (78.3 m (257 ft) from sea level) and are connected by the Äijälänsalmi strait. Parts of Jyväsjärvi have been filled many times to gain more land for the growing city of Jyväskylä. Mattilanniemi and Ylistö, two campuses of the University of Jyväskylä, are situated on the western shores of the lake.
