Kuusalu Parish (Estonian: Kuusalu vald) is a rural municipality in northern Estonia, the largest in Harju County. After joining with the adjacent Loksa Parish in 2005, the municipality has now a population of 6,863 (as of 1 January 2009)[1] and covers an area of 707.97 km2 (273.35 sq mi).[2] The population density is 9.7 inhabitants per km2.
A significant share of the municipality's territory (between 40% and 60%[3]) is covered by protected areas, as large parts of the Lahemaa National Park and Põhja-Kõrvemaa Nature Reserve are situated there.
