Is there a national park with mountainous and dense forests in Finland?

@problemofficer I guess you are already over there, and I hope you are enjoying. Anyway in case others interested
Depending on how mountenous and how dense a forest you expect, but as @vlumi mentioned, no high mountains (highest point some 1.3 km), and, while there are lots of dense forests, finding any kind of a forest at altitude above, say 500m is already a challenge...
A logical source to find more about national parks would be
https://www.nationalparks.fi/nationalparks ;-)
p.s. From a global perspective, I think that the uniqueness that the Finnish national parks has to offer is mainly in:
Lakes (Eastern part, e.g. Linnansaari https://www.nationalparks.fi/linnansaarinp )
The archipelago (Southwest, https://www.nationalparks.fi/archipelagonp )
While the distance from Helsinki to "Lakes" is longer than to "Archipelago", the accessibility from Helsinki to both is about is similar (=as it is easier to fly / drive on a bigger road to some city in Eastern Finland than to get yourself into the archipelago), and both mean that a "proper visit" won't be possible on e.g. a day-trip, but better assume 1+1 days for travel + the time to spend there.

The Koli National Park could be a candidate.
- ✅ Closest cities: Lieksa (25 km air-line distant, separated by a lake), Juuka (31 airline-distant), Uimaharju (32 km airline-distant)
- ✅ forest
- ✅ slightly mountainous with views
- ✅ lakes for canoing
- ❌ Though, it is not above the arctic circle. The combination of forest, northern latitude, and elevation might be a conflict.
You could also try to approach this problem with Overpass Turbo by locating peaks above a given elevation that are less than a certain distance from a lake and a forest. It might also be feasible to filter out search results close to residential areas. However, the underlying Openstreetmap data does not carry information on whether a forest is dense or not, as of now.
