Kuhakoski

The Kuhakoski rapids extend for 150 meters along the Luhtajoki River, descending 16 meters through a series of three cascading water formations.

Four mills operated at Kuhakoski from the early 1500s, serving the villages of Perttula, Uotila, Valkjärvi, and Numlahti until the twentieth century.

A small power plant established in 1910 at Kuhakoski supplied electricity to local houses, marking the transition from water mills to modern energy production.

The rapids maintain an average flow rate of 1.2 cubic meters per second, reaching peaks of 14 cubic meters during spring melting periods.

The northern section contains dry meadows where bluebells and maiden pinks grow among the rocks, creating a natural garden along the water course.
