Shooting the Rapids

Finland’s Wild Waters

Summer activities in Finland, canoeing in Ruunaa

Spring and summer are when Finland’s dramatic, fast-flowing northern rivers are in full flood and there are few experiences more exciting than being carried along with the rushing foam in a rubber raft or wooden boat. This activity also gives you the chance to see some of Finland’s more remote and spectacular landscapes, off the beaten track.

The rapids at Ruunaa in northern Karelia are an especially popular venue, but there are similar locations in many other parts of the country, in the Kuusamo area, for example, and in Lapland. For experienced canoeists, the Tornio and Muonio river systems running for hundreds of kilometres along the western border with Sweden provide some thrilling opportunities.
