Imatra Rapids

A lovely place that is worth enjoying 365 days in a year!

Really spectacular environment. in the middle of the city . Like hiking a wild mountain. Beautiful landscape.

Fantastic experience. The show consists of the flood gates opening, and seeing and hearing the force of water. The opeing times vary with the season. Now it was at 1800(6pm), the summer timetable.

A beautiful, interesting way. Vast nature with lots of small details that are fun to find.

Out of the world experience. Awesome. Learn the timing beforehand if there's any show.

Very beautiful landscape. Unfortunately the water flow was closed for construction back in August 2019.
Overall, the nature and the view is very nice. Definitely recommend.

Nice sightseeing place.
Peaceful and exciting to watch the water flow. And there is nice track for walking, running and cycling. And very near to keskusta and shopping area and also there is a McDonald's at side of this.
There is a park for kids to play and fountain for viewing and lot of trees as usual to provide shades and parking is also available for free on the main road for 2 hours. It is really nice to go here with group of people and have lots of pictures. Families with kids can enjoy it as well.

Amazing views of the rapids, dam and a great walk even in the cold October month. The rapid shows were unfortunately cancelled due to covid but impressive views nonetheless.

A lovely central area of Imatra and Rapids at the Hydro Electric Dam giving a show Wednesday to Saturday 6pm, when the
Dam is let loose for all to see and hear the beauty of Nature rolling down from the Vuoksi River...Breathtakingly beautiful!!

The view is stunning. Unfortunately, I did not see the opening the dam, but still beautiful place.

Amazing waterfall, also without the water. The Niagara falls of the Nordics.

The rapids are beautiful, especially in the summertime when they are flowing. The scenery is great as you watch the rapids flow from the bridge above, or even get closer by going down. Absolutely a must-see for everyone.

Amazing. With a surprise opening at 30.4.2023.

Beautiful Rapids....open at 6 pm this beautiful 20minutes show with music....

Beautiful landscape but the gate was closed and water flow was low. But still very beautiful scenery.

Went to view the dam water release, which takes place at 6pm. It was absolutely incredible and attended by a couple of hundred people. The scene was absolutely stunning and the Ukrainian national anthem played (the river runs to Russia), followed by beautiful classical music. Highly recommend! The event takes place until late August.

Amazing view to the rapids and to the dam.

The dam was interesting to see from the bridge and the deep gorge the water flows. A lovely park. Once a week they release water from the dam to music and lights during summer.

Very suggestive place! There is a free parking just close to the bridge from which you can admire the rapids. Be sure that you are there when the dam is open so you can see the amazing waterfalls. At the end of August they opened at 6pm. The dam stays open for about 15 mins.

Beautiful Show, definitely worth a visit
