Myllykoski

The Myllykoski rapids create strong water flows along the Kitkajoki river, forming a natural water feature within the forest landscape of northern Finland.

Local inhabitants from Juuma and Säkkilä villages constructed a grain mill at Myllykoski in 1926, which operated until the final milling activities in 1947-48.

The name Myllykoski translates to Mill Rapids, reflecting the traditional grain processing activities that sustained local communities through the early 20th century.

The rapids connect to the Karhunkierros hiking trail via a suspension bridge, with the nearest road located less than 500 meters away through a wide path.

The waters of Myllykoski support seasonal fishing activities for salmon and trout, with specific size regulations of 60 centimeters for trout and 35 for grayling.
