Anarjohka National Park lies in Karasjok and Kautokeino municipalities in Finnmark county, Norway, and opened in 1976 as an IUCN Category II protected area covering 1,409 square kilometers. Occupying the interior of the Finnmarksvidda plateau, it holds extensive birch forest, pine barrens, bogland and numerous lakes, and shares a border with Finland's Lemmenjoki National Park. Its varied fauna includes moose, reindeer, smaller predators and fish such as salmon, trout and Arctic char, and its twelve reindeer grazing units make it especially important for winter herding between November and April.
