The project moves to Siikakoskenniska. In the coming weeks, groundwork will be done for a new toilet location, the current toilet will be made accessible and relocated to the trailhead, and a new demanding accessible trail will be built from the Murrookoski parking area to the Siikakoski shoreline, following the existing forest path. Foundations for an accessible fishing pier will also be constructed at Siikakoski.
The trails passing through the construction area at Siikakoskenniska – the Siikakoski Loop, Vastuuniemi Trail, and Rapids Trail – will be temporarily rerouted via the Murrookoski road parking area. The detour will be marked in the terrain with red ribbons and maps. Access to the Siikakoski fishing site will be prohibited during the construction period.
