Juutuanjoki River Trail
Juutuanjoki
A fast-flowing river running through Inari village, with a riverside trail linking to the Siida Museum; it stays partly open in winter.
The Juutuanjoki flows into Lake Inari from beside Inari village. Its lower reaches have several rapids, and the current is strong. Parts of the river stay unfrozen even in winter, and steaming water and frost-covered forests make a distinctive snowy scene. A natural trail of several kilometres runs along the river. From the Siida Museum it passes through pine forest to rapid viewpoints and a suspension bridge, and it can be continued to the Otsamo Fell trail. In summer it is a good place for trout and salmon fishing, for which a fishing permit is required. Free to visit and open year-round.
