Lake Uurainen (Finnish: Uuraistenjärvi) is a medium-sized lake in central Finland,[1] about 50 km northeast of the city Jyväskylä. It is a popular lake among fishers due to its good capture possibilities.[2] In the northern part of the lake there is a long cape, which divides almost the whole lake.
