Muuratjärvi is a lake of Finland in Muurame and Korpilahti, the latter being part of Jyväskylä since 2009. The lake has a surface area of 32 km2. The lake drains into the Päijänne via the ~1 kilometre (0.6 mi) long Muuratjoki river, which flows through the center of Muurame. The lake has multiple islands, including Vuohensalo, Siikasaari, Konttisaari, Jahko and Raita. Vuohensalo is connected to the mainland via a road.[1][2]
