Kymijoki River is a very versatile canoeing destination. The locals refer to Kymijoki River as the Amazon of Finland, and for good reason. The great main stream runs through a variety of landscapes in several branches. The deciduous trees on the banks extend far over the river in many places, creating a rainforest feel.
