The Konnevesi Research Station, maintained by the Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences at the University of Jyväskylä, provides a scenic setting for tourists. The research station is located on the shore of Lake Konnevesi and on the promontory between its outlet river, Siikakoski. The location makes this an excellent base for fishermen, naturalists and tourists who want to explore South Konnevesi National Park in the form of day trips and stay in the station's accommodation rooms.
