Kokonkoski - Kymijoki

Kokonkoski

Kokonkoski starts immediately at the lower end of the shoreline of the short beach below Siikakoski and is the longest continuous rapids section in the area. Kokonkoski consists of several small rapids and rocky streams.

There are also three islands in Kokonkoski, which can be waded into depending on the water level. The highest of the islands is Tittisaari, whose area is good for salmon fishing when fishing from either the island or the shore, especially in the fall. The wading route to the island passes through the rapids at the lower end of the island, and access to the island in shallow autumn water is quite easy. The middle of the islands is Lenkkarisaari, which, as the name implies, can be reached with normal summer water on dry feet. The Lenkkarisaari area is especially reminiscent of sea trout and a good place in the spring during high water. The lowest island in the area, Alasaari, is located just above the lowest rapids of the bustling Kokonkoski rapids and can be reached by wading through the shallow water in the shallow autumn water. Other good places in the area are the low-flowing lower part of the backwaters below the beach (the so-called Talvikivi area), as well as the deeper sections between Lenkkarisaari and the lower island (the so-called Topinkivi area and the lower catchment area).

Kokonkoski laskee vetensä hidasvirtaiseen suvantoon ennen Hinttulankoskea. Kokonkoski sijaitsee kävelymatkan päässä Siikakoskesta ja sen parkkipaikoilta. Kokonkoski on luonnonkaunista aluetta ja on pääosin Siikakoskea ja Ruhavuolletta pienemmällä kalastuspaineella läpi kauden.
