List of rivers of Finland

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of rivers of Finland. Listing begins with rivers flowing into the Baltic sea, from the north, that is from the Swedish border. Tributaries are listed down the page in an upstream direction.

Water flows from Finland directly to the Baltic Sea, which is divided here into the Gulf of Bothnia and Gulf of Finland, Turku being considered the dividing point. The Some rivers flow to Russia, and a few to Norway. There are a lot of lakes in Finland and so this listing includes also several lakes through which the rivers flow or begin from.
