Paddling

The Raudanjoki River, which flows through the Arctic Circle Hiking Area, offers a great setting for paddling. Vaattunkiköngäs and especially Vikaköngäs rapids with their foaming waters and campsites are excellent places for whitewater paddling throughout the summer.

  • Vikaköngäs has been modified to make it more suitable for whitewater paddling and fishing.
  • From Vaattunkiköngäs launching point, you can paddle along the Raudanjoki River to Olkkajärvi Lake.
  • Several days can be spent pleasantly on the paddling route from Kalliosalmi to Olkkajärvi.
