About Vesijako

Vesijako is a lake. Location: Paijat-Hame, Finland. Elevation: 102 m.

From Wikipedia

Vesijako (also Vesijakaa) is a lake in Finland. It is situated in Padasjoki in the region of Päijänne Tavastia. The lake is famous in Finland as a bifurcation lake (the name Vesijako actually means "drainage divide"), together with the nearby Lummene that is somewhat less known, and from which waters flow eastwards into lake Päijänne and westwards through the lake Vehkajärvi into lake Vesijako. Vesijako in turn also has two outflows.
