Linnansaari National Park (Linnansaaren kansallispuisto) is a national park in Eastern Finland. It lies in the middle of Lake Haukivesi, a part of greater Saimaa Lake. The National Park was established to conserve the valuable natural features of the Finnish lakeland.
On the main island there's an old croft. Burn-beating is still practised on its fields to protect old forms of culture. A large part of the island is natural-state coniferous forest, with some herb-rich parts.
