Saraavesi is a medium-sized lake in Laukaa, Finland. It flows to lake Leppävesi via Kuhankoski rapids. The lake is part of Keitele Canal, a waterway connecting Lake Keitele and Päijänne.[2] Saraakallio rock paintings are located on the shore of Saraavesi.[3]

Several parts of the lake are included to the Natura 2000 protection program. There are a shallow lake Peukaloinen, Saraakallio rocks, eskers, Tarvaalanvirta and Kuusaankoski rapids and some cultural heritage places.[4]
