    Imatrankoski is one of Finland’s most famous rapids and a highlight of any visit to Imatra. The dam-controlled rapids are usually opened in summer for scheduled shows, drawing crowds to watch the powerful flow of water through the old riverbed. It’s located right in the city centre, with good bike access and plenty of space to watch from the bridge or park area.
